Originally meant to be a very funny comedy, but after watching it, it feels mediocre

After his father passed away, his sister Carol succeeded her father's multinational technology company as chief executive officer, and his younger brother Clay was in charge of the underperforming Chicago branch. Carol left New York and came to Chicago, thinking that the Chicago branch only achieved benefits this year, which was far below her expectations, and decided to lay off 40% of the employees. In order to cut the company's expenses, she ordered the cancellation of the year-end bonus and the company's Christmas party that night. Clay had a dispute with his sister Carol. Josh revealed to Carol that his company is planning to join the Data City program and is preparing to cooperate with IT buyer Walter Davis. It will certainly achieve good prospects. So Carol promised to Clay that if they miraculously won the 14 million contract with Walter Davis, she would cancel the plan to dismiss 40% of the employees.
After Carol left the company to go to London, company employees Mary, Jeremy, Alison, etc. heard that the company was about to lay off employees and made a lot of trouble. Clay promised his employees that no one would be unemployed. Clay, Josh, and Trish approached Walter and hoped to cooperate with them, but they are not optimistic about the processors of their branch companies and are more willing to cooperate with Dell. In order to reverse Walter's opinion, Clay decided to invite Walter to join the company's Christmas party that night, and let him see the company's unity and struggle.
Therefore, Clay informed all employees of the company to make every effort to prepare for the party that night. When the employees heard that the party was re-convened, they thought that the bonus would also be sent out, so they were all motivated.
When Josh was in the bachelor's apartment, Carol suddenly broke in and asked her to work with her in the New York head office, promising to double her salary. Josh expressed his unwillingness to betray Clay.
The party was held on time. But things did not go as smoothly as Clay expected. The old-school Mary always prevents the party from going out of style, and Jeremy is bored and complaining about Mary's nagging. Seeing this, Walter didn't want to stay here for a long time.
In order to show that he has a beautiful girlfriend, the head of the department, Nath, hired a prostitute, Bega, to be his girlfriend with a huge sum of money from his subordinates. The prostitute Begat had a drug addiction during the party. She secretly bought a few packets of cocaine and placed her bag next to the plastic snow spray machine. At this time, Mary walked up and threw plastic into the snow machine, throwing in the unknown cocaine. Walt bid farewell to Clay, and walked to the nozzle of the jet, sprayed with plastic fake snow and cocaine powder. Due to the inhalation of cocaine, Watt suddenly became excited and stayed in the party to carve. Mary inhaled cocaine powder and began to dance frivolously.
Josh and Trish wore singles and went to the roof balcony to chat. Unexpectedly, the door was locked and the two were trapped on the balcony and were frozen. The two had just sparked when the drunk Jeremy opened the door and walked out to pee. Josh and Trish walked into the hall, and Jason Water was frantically having a carnival with Clay, knowing that the Christmas miracle had happened...
But the party became more and more crazy due to cocaine, and more and more men and women began to take off their clothes and even leaked out. Nath’s carnival...Bega, a prostitute hired by Nat, used to fly for others in the bathroom. The subordinates asked Nat after knowing that Nat’s ugliness was revealed...
Due to too much snow at the airport, all flights were cancelled. Rol had to return to the Chicago branch. But when she came to the company, she saw an out-of-control live party. Watt was momentarily excited and shouted that she was the king of IT procurement. She grabbed the light cord and jumped off the stairs. As a result, she was carried into the ambulance on a stretcher... …At this time, Mary told Klay that Water had been fired from the company before, and their hard work was in vain...
Carol could not tolerate all of this, and decided to completely end the company-shut down the company...
But the story did not end there. .
First, the frustrated Klay carried 300,000 dollars in the Becca Madam’s car and left. Josh, Trish, Mary, and Carol broke into the nightclub to save Klay; then, the disappointed Klay was about to drive. Iron bridge. As a result, the car crashed into the hospital...
But it was Cui Xi's scientific research results that rescued the company in the end, using the power grid to transmit the network. The success of scientific research led Carol to cancel the decision to close the company...
From the beginning to the end of the film, there is no humorous line or a wonderful funny paragraph. It is very, very mediocre...
