Summary: Office Space is truly hilarious
Review: Office space is a hilarious movie portraying the struggles of the working class. This movie staring Ron Livingston and Jennifer Aniston will leave you in tears. It is a real stress reliever. It will have you laughing right along with them as they struggle through the work week, and even the "case of the Mondays". Don't let this movie pass you by. Whenever you are feeling bit by the working class bug, this movie will make it seem all worthwhile. You'll feel as if you have experienced the same or similiar experiences at your own job. However, this movie will make you feel a whole lot better about those experiences. This is truly a great movie to watch over and over. You'll find different situations funny with every showing.

Summary: HILARIOUS!!
Review: If you've ever worked in a corporate environment, Office Space'll have you cracking up and peeing your pants! It's one of those kind of silly movies that tells so much truth that you can't help but laugh. Definitely a hit... a great gift for grads starting out in the "real world", and for the seasoned veteran of the corporate world.

Summary: It's good to be a Gangster!
Review: This has to be one of my favorite movies of all time. I think anyone who has ever worked in an office will identify with all of the characters. There are days when I feel that the lead character played by Ron Livingston was based on my life. I must be "having a case of the Mondays" I used to work with a guy who insisted on only using his personal antique stapler. If anyone ever finds a hypnotist that can zap me into not knowing I went to work - please find me. Until then, I will continue to arrive late to work, enter through the back door, zone out for an hour pretending to work, and get an actual fifteen minutes of work done every day. This movie gets funnier every time. Everyone who commutes to work, especially in California, will also identify with the traffic scenes. After seein the movie, I can now at least smile a little thinking about how funny everyday, mundane life can really be.

Summary: A Landmark Comedy
Review: Forget Dilbert. This is the definitive anti-office satire. In fact, OFFICE SPACE is so funny that I don't even think you have to have worked in an office to appreciate it. It's a classic, and it's the kind of comedy you'll want to tell others about.

Summary: an original masterpiece, pure genious
Review: From the creator of beavis and butthead and king of the hill, brings you a movie that shows in important message in life, "work sucks". The performances in this movie are amazing. They are amazing from performances from everybody. This film is a smart and intellectual film about a day in a life in a hard worker. And how they get mad of all the work they have to suffer through. The story goes as Peter Gibbons (Ron Livingston) really just doesn't feel like going to work anymore, he really really hates it, and wants to get fired. With his new attitude and his new girlfriend Joanna (Jennifer Aniston) he gets promoted and still hates his job and wants to make his boss pay for making his life miserable. He then figures a scam with his friends Michael and Samir. It is a triumph! This film has really no special features. It has the theatrical trailer for the film, widescreen anamorphic 1:85:1 ratio, and cast and crew info. They should really come out with a special edition set of this movie. It should have commentary by Mike Judge. But the film still covers it. It is a smart comedy. Can be complicated, so you made need to watch this more than once if you don't know about office jobs like me. This is a must see film.

Summary: I think I'll watch something else for real laughs... yeah.
Review: Although I've never been a cubicle rat in some cavernous and soulless office environment, after taking a look at 'Office Space' I found myself relating to Peter Gibbons, the movie's central character, to a reasonable degree. I've worked alongside more'n a couple "special" co-workers who could give the stammering, stapler-obsessed and Coke-bottle-lensed Milton a run for his money in the weirdness department. I've worked under bosses who weren't quite as annoying as the ludicrously condescending Lumbergh ("...yeah.") or the minutiae-obsessed Stan the "flair" man (played by Mike Judge, the movie's writer & director), but came pretty close on occasion. And I've had more than a few frustrating moments with one malfunctioning tool of the trade or another, thereby tempting me to take a baseball bat to the frickin' thing, like Peter & a couple of his fellow cubicle-dwellers did with a pesky copy machine in one scene. Or was it a fax machine? Eh, same diff. Anyhoo, sometimes the annoyances and frustrations of the job were so overwhelming that I contemplated going to work one day and just let everyone in sight in on how lame my work is, and not give a doot about whether I get fired or not, just like our hero decided to do after a weekend hypnosis session gone awry. 'Course, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have gotten promoted for my attitude problem and sloth like what happened with the protagonist, but that's the difference between fact and fiction for ya... But in spite of my identifying and sympathizing with Peter and his beleaguered colleagues, I didn't find all that much in the way of laughs here. There were a few moments of mirth, but not enough for this to be worth a second viewing in my eyes. Matter of fact, I found the proceedings kinda sad, really. Perhaps I identify with the characters a bit TOO much?. Anyhoo, it didn't help that writer/director Mike Judge ripped off-- er, I mean, paid tribute to the ol' fraction-of-a-cent-tabulating-computer-program plot gimmick from 'Superman III', one of the worst super-hero movies I've ever laid eyes on! Sheesh, Mike, if you're gonna lift a wacky plot gimmick, could'ja take one from a decent flick?! And while you're at it, could ya at least TRY to bring 'Beavis and Butt-Head' back, and drop that gawdawful 'King of the Hill' show? I'm freakin' BEGGIN' ya, here... 'Late

Summary: Warning: If You Like Michael Bolton, You Won`t Like This
Review: A pleasant and witty surprise, "Office Space" is an offbeat and enticing comedy that presents a glimpse into the boring, dull and predictable corporate world. This movie wisely focuses the tedious and mundane situations that occur in multiple offices today, delivering an amusing and realistic cast of characters. Ron Livingston plays the average mid-twenties guy who suddently gets terribly bored with his job and decides it`s time to call it it quits. This event will lead to some funny and interesting situations, making for an entertaining and true-to-life (even if a bit cartoonish) cinematic experience. Director Mike Judge, whose previous work includes MTV`s "Beavis and Butthead", knows how to create a clever and intelligent movie with a lot of dead-on observations about the daily and mundane routines. Although "Office Space" displays a certain low-budget feel, the acting is very convincing and the characters are quite an achievement. Sure, this film hasn`t great camera tricks, a stunning photography or a superb soundrack, still it works well and stands as an above-average comedy. The comical approach is low-key, delivering subtle and ironic observations and avoiding the typical and predictable slapstick tendencies that are presented in most comedies today. It also shares a couple of similarities with the famous comic strip (and TV series) "Dilbert", where one`s job is boring as hell. Generates some genuine laughs.

Summary: Hilarious and Cathartic
Review: This film is not only hilarious but cathartic. Recommended for anyone, especially anyone who works in corporate America. The film plays off some of the cliches we face in "downsizing" companies. Some of the characters are caricature, yet somehow identifiable with many who infiltrate our work spaces with models, slogans, and the latest buzz words. Office Space is an effective antidote after a work week in a corporate cubicle; some days, it may even replace a happy hour cocktail--well, at least, enhance it.

Summary: 5 Stars for the Movie, 3 for the DVD
Review: The movie is absolutely essential for anyone who has ever had a crappy job. This is one of the most brilliantly constructed films I've ever seen, and will make you laugh out loud. The DVD is a bit disappointing though, as there is like nothing else on it. A special edition with commentary, outtakes etc. would be really nice.

Summary: Comic Relief for Frustrations Near to Our Hearts!
Review: Well, I've heard about this cult classic film since I began working in corporate America. It seemed that everyone quoted this movie, from the "Didn't you get the memo?" to the famous fax machine scene. I finally got my turn with it last night and was in tears with laughter. The opening scene with gridlock traffic voiced the pain of millions of commuters and showed the promise of more venting to come in the movie. With my recent move to cubicle land, I was ready and waiting. To my surprise, this movie actually had a plot. They developed very humorous office parody in the opening scenes, but I expected that parody to go on for a long time. Instead, the movie introduces the 3 parallel storylines:
- anticipated lay-offs at work with consultants being brought in
- Peter's experience with a career hypnotherapist (he's the main character)
- Milton's being pushed to the brink of insanity As the story unwinds, the characters show what ordinary people can do when put in almost inhuman conditions - working on top of people, boring work that doesn't really contribute to anything, inane bosses, an absence of any incentive to work harder, having 8 different bosses, lay-offs not based on merit, being asked to move cubicles continually, etc. More than anything, I appreciated the films ability to continually laugh at itself. When the 3 main computer science guys consider money laundering, they have to look it up in the dictionary...and they ask how smart guys like them can be so bad at crime when so many stupid people in the mafia are so good at it. These guys are who we would be if we were stuck in that situation. Sure, we've heard all about money laundering and such, but who knows how to actually do it? While the movie winds down to a predictable and satisfying ending, I think it works well for this film. I don't think the magic of the film is its proposing an answer for the white collar worker. (Ditch digging anyone?) Instead, I think the genius of it was to express and magnify to humorous proportions the lives of many Americans. It does this well, and thus earns four stars (especially when all the swears are bleeped out).
