Summary: I'll have to ask you to go right ahead and buy this...
Review: Yeah... Murderously funny movie. So many very strong characters that it just couldn't fail. No surprise, with Mike (Beavis and Butthead) Judge at the helm.Office Space brilliantly captures the mind-numbing tedium of repetitive code debugging projects in the run up to the December 31st, 1999 deadline. (The M Bug was a genuine problem, in that ANY computer code based on the concept that tomorrow's date must be numerically larger than any previous date WOULD fall over.) While the superb Gary Cole steals the show as the intensely irritating boss Bill Lumburgh, whose coffee mug never leaves his hand (even when he is making love to Jennifer Aniston in a fantasy sequence), every member of the cast gives 1000%. Rather than give away any specific details of the plot, I will just add that OS contains many sharp and witty insights into the ritual dance of modern office life, played out by the craziest collection of characters ever assembled in one movie. For that reason, it is scarily close to reality. Great... Yeah...

Summary: Not appropriate for those with good taste.
Review: Although this movie had a lot of potential it was far from reaching that potential. The sound track used Rap music that was full of nasty langauge and poor moral messages. There were totally inappropriate scenes that added absolutely nothing to the movie except perhaps offend peoples sensitivities. This movie is definately not for youger members of the family. My opinion is to just let this movie fade into the dirt where it belongs.

Summary: "Excuse Me, But I Believe That Is My Stapler...."
Review: I can think about several different scenes from this movie and just start laughing. It's one of those movies. Mike Judge(King Of The Hill), wrote and directed this hilarious look at the mundane life of office workers. Peter(Ron Livingston) has a boring life. He lives in a plain, by the numbers apartment with an odd neighbor(Diedrich Bader from "The Drew Carey Show"), and works in front of a computer all day in a small cubicle. It's the same rut day in and day out. He has a smarmy boss with an very slow, annoying way of speech named Bill Lumberg(Played by the awesome Gary Cole). This guy is pricelessly funny. Many points go to Mr. Cole. He also, in a very funny joke, has a friend that works there named Michael Bolton. Don't think there's not many jokes there!. The company then begins to downsize and Peter's two best friends are on that list, while he is to be promoted. The three guys then set out for revenge and devise a plan to launder funds from company accounts. All seems to be golden, when something goes horribly wrong and the guys scramble to find a solution to save their butts!. Jennifer Aniston also co-stars(and looking cute as ever) as Peter's waitress girlfriend. Stephen Root from "NewsRadio" co-stars as Milton, a highly geeky loser who never gets the attention or respect at work. Like Cole, his comedic performance is incredibly funny. The ending kinda just happens real quickly, and one wishes it was a bit longer and more fleshed out. We've come this far!. The movie has many laugh out loud moments that are both hysterical and oh so true!. Who doesn't hate their job, right?. The film hits the bullseye on that front. It's a shame this intelligent film didn't get the recognition it deserved. It is definitley finding a voice on cable and video. Good. If your looking for a fun little movie that you may of missed, this is the movie for you!. As Bill Lumberg himself might say, ' I want you to see this movie, m'kaaaayyy?. Riiiggghhhttt. Teriffic'. Well said Bill.

Summary: Light fun humor
Review: I think this film is hysterical. I recommend it to anyone who is disgusted with corporate America. Subjects and characters portray real life situations in a satirical very funny way. If you are fed up with your job, if you are a general worker or corporate manager, watch this movie. You have to relate to someone or something in this film. Sooooo funny!!!!

Summary: Gut-bustingly funny!
Review: This was an unexpected hit in my household! Disclaimer: This movie is NOT for everyone. There is a certain level of crude humor, sarcasm, negativity, and irreverence about the whole thing, but if you can relate to the subject matter, that is precisely what makes it a GEM. Having worked for the real-life equivalent of this movie's evil corporate conglomerate, I was able to relate to this movie in a particularly strong way, which made it a much-needed outlet for me. From the humorous depictions of corporate "motivation" attempts, to the "evil boss" who tortures the main characters (even in their dreams), to the sudden lay-offs that send them over the edge, this movie is tailor-made for the white collar working stiffs who live it every day (especially anyone in a technical/computer/programming field). If you have experienced the forest of gray cubicle walls, the droning, boring corporate meetings, the logic-lacking company policies, the inhuman treatment from management, you will LOVE this movie. It will serve as an anchor for you to see that you aren't the only one who sees the BS for what it is, and I must say it is a refreshing feeling! If you fit the profile, the smallest detail of this movie will cause you to burst into tear-producing laughter. If not, you might want to give it a try, but proceed with caution. :)

Summary: Get this movie ASAP, m'kay? Yeaaaah. Ter-rific.
Review: If you survive a commute every morning that makes "Soylent Green" seem like a paradise, only to spend your life in a cubicle doing entirely meaningless work that becomes obsolete before it's even finished and has no effect at all on anyone's life -- which probably describes 4/5 of Americans, since there are very few jobs outside of corporate America anymore -- then this movie is for you. Mike Judge hits the bullseye on every aspect of cubicle life, and Ron Livingston, as protagonist Pete Gibbons, manages to say everything every cube-dweller wishes he or she could say: something that is real, not phoney; part of a meaningful life, not scripted, meaningless, business gibberish. Every character is instantly recognizable and perfectly drawn. The plot of the film is entirely beside the point; the characters and the situation would be hysterical no matter what the story was. My only complaint is that the movie, which, if left to run in its natural direction, would be fomenting revolution, wimps out in the end, turning into a trite commentary on the fact that "most people don't really like their jobs." But the film practically begs for a much bigger, more provocative, and more profound interpretation. It is a fierce commentary on the absurdity of modern life, but it ends up simply justifying the absurdity as existentially necessary and morally unproblematic. Yet the reduction of human lives to ballets of banal and empty formalisms is anything but morally unproblematic. But perhaps this kind of cowardice must simply be expected in modern films: "Traffic," a scathing commentary on the absurdity of the drug war, wraps everything up neatly by asking us to put our faith in the curative powers of 12-Step programs, sidestepping the moral questions surrounding the right of the government to wage war on citizens who take drugs, and simply accepting the "crime vs. disease" terms in which the debate is conventionally framed. Regardless of their implict meaning, it's probably unrealistic to expect Hollywood movies to end on a note that would make viewers think. The social function of these films, after all, is to make everyone return to their cubicles the next morning a bit less resentfully. Their economic function is to make a profit for the Bill Lumburghs of the world. Serial format video, like Judge's "Beavis and Butt-head," avoids these problems because it has no conclusion. "Office Space" probably would have benefitted if it, too, could have avoided a conclusion. Still, this one gets five stars because it's possible to disregard the last two minutes of the film and actually think about what it means. Also, it's funny as hell. And pay careful attention to Milton's mutterings.

Summary: Great Movie - underrated
Review: This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Classic characters, great script, great actors. I didn't see this in the movies, it was recommended by a math wiz friend who works for a large insurance company. Although people usually say "if you work in an office you'll love this movie..." I found it hillarious and inciteful despite NOT working in that environment. I'm buying it because I keep renting it. It's always good for a laugh and survives repeated viewings well (like dumb and dumber).

Review: This is a great movie that most of us can relate to. BUT I WARN YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THROUGH WITH WHAT THE GUY IN THE MOVIE DOES (quit his job and stop paying bills) it doesn't actually work like it does in the movies.
