Newly divorced Josh Parker (Jason Bateman) works as Chief Technology Officer of Zenotek in Chicago. The Interim CEO Carol Vanstone (Jennifer Aniston) arrives to notify Josh and her brother / branch manager Clay Vanstone (T. J. Miller ) that unless they can land a rich new client, Walter Davis (Courtney B. Vance) she will have to make cuts at the company. In order to do this, Josh and Clay arrange to throw a party that quickly gets out of hand.
OCP starts off well and then goes downhill faster than Santa in a sleigh, being pulled by nine reindeer. Crass, crude jokes cause eye rolling as they frequently miss. Some are completely ill advised, see Carol calling Santa to cancel a child's Christmas presents.
A subplot sees single, geeky, IT director Nate (Karan Soni) hiring an escort (Abbey Lee) to impress his work colleagues. Worth watching but it should have been a lot better given the cast. It won't linger in the memory.
