Office Christmas Party Feature Trailer (2016)

Feature Trailer for Paramount Pictures' comedy Office Christmas Party. When his uptight CEO sister threatens to shut down his branch, the branch manager throws an epic Christmas party in order to land a big client and save the day, but the party gets way out of hand...

To say that Directors Josh Gordon and Will Speck like working together is an understatement. They have only worked on 8 projects as Directors and all eight were with each other:

Flaked (TV Series) (2 episodes)
The Power Inside (TV Mini-Series short) (6 episodes)
The Switch -- which also starred Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman
Cavemen (TV Series) (4 episodes)
Blades of Glory
Angry Boy (Short)
Culture (Short)

Jamie Chung and T.J. Miller previously worked together on Big Hero 6. They provided the voices for Go-Go and Fred.

This Feature Trailer is a great addition to the First Trailer. This first trailer focused on the shenanigans that go on during the out of control office party and has very little dialogue. It does a great job at setting the tone for the film. And this new trailer does a great job at setting up the back story. We learn that the office is having financial issues and close to shutting down. But if they can secure this one account, then the office will be saved. So, Clay, the branch manager, throws an epic Christmas party in order to land a big client and save the day, but the party gets way out of hand...

While I would have hoped for a red band trailer as the second trailer, this one does its job. T.J. Miller looks to carry the comedic side of the film and with great reason, he is hilarious. I think this will either be outrageously hilarious or be a dud. Of course the trailer makes the film look to be more towards the hilarious side, but we have seen that before with a trailer making a film out to be greater than it really is. I am hopeful and will likely not miss this potential comedic gem.
