Summary: I have to agree...
Review: I'm a US citizen who teaches English in Mexico. My (Mexican) fellow teachers frequently ask me why I left the "American Dream" behind in order to work for a low salary at a university in Baja, and they always seem rather unwilling to accept my portrait of life in corporate America. I first watched this eerily realistic spoof on TV a couple of years ago, and I intend to order it for our school library with the hope that watching it will convince both students and teachers that life in the US isn't all that it's cracked up to be.
If the movie weren't so hilarious and extreme, it would almost qualify as a docudrama. It is very well cast and acted, and I must agree with the reviewer who finds it to be underrated.

Summary: It's scary how close to reality this movie is...
Review: Even though this is a comedy, it's pretty darn close to what happens in a corporate environment. I know. I've been a software engineer for 15 years for very large places like Kodak. This is what really happens - it's just exaggerated to make it hilarious. But it's freaking real. This is why I gave up the big corporate life to become a freelance writer. It's really a funny movie and most anyone who's worked in such an environment will surely identify with the ridiculous policies and red tape.

Review: WOW, this is an awesome movie! From the opening scene, it sets the mood of the movie. Very funny movie, with a cast that works very well together. Pretty much a movie about a guy who is finding himself hating his job and life. Its is great watching him go from an uptight geek to a layed back cool cat. Office Space hasnt been seen by many people but it is not a waste of time. I tell you the copy machine scene..haaaaa , priceless..

Summary: "i, i ,...i could set the building on fire"
Review: office space is a delightful smart comedy about a business worker who hates his job, and decides to get theropy. he is put in a trance and the docter is about to count to three, but right when he gets to one, he dies of heart-faliure. so now peter is in a trance where he is always relaxed. im not going to say much more, but the one who brings all the comedy home, and saves the day is milton. 5 stars definately.

Summary: Is somebody having a case of 'The Mondays'?
Review: The premise of this film is very weak, that of a guy who finally sees the light and decides to "not go anymore" to his dead end job. The true merit of it lies in showing almost every possible office situation that can happen, while not really exaggerating them.Peter Gibbons (Livingston) works at Initech, a software company like thousands others, in a thankless job checking lines of code for the Y2K glitch. He's numb from all the stupid, meaningless work he and his co-workers, Michael Bolton (no, he's not related to the singer) and Samir Nagheenanajar ("No one in this country can ever pronounce my name right!"), have to do. He has the über boss, Lumbergh (Cole) who makes him work saturdays and who pays very little attention to what Peter says or does. There's also Joanna (Aniston), the waitress from Chotchkie's, the restaurant next door who Peter secretly likes, but has never had the guts to talk to. There's even the consultants, Bob and Bob, who are downsizing the company. Office space is a really fun movie and has gained a little bit of a cult following (especially Gary Cole's character). It also has a great soundtrack, with very clever use of some rap songs. The acting is pretty good, very natural and simple, which goes well with the simple storyline. This is a fine film to own, you'll watch it many times over the years! The movie was based on characters created by Judge (Beavis & Butthead) for a cartoon that used to play on Saturday Night Live, called Milton, for Stephen Root's character, a mousy, mumbling man who works at the office. Judge also makes a cameo of sorts, playing Stan, the manager at the restaurant where Aniston's character works. Also of notice, The Drew Carey Show's Diedrich Bader appears as Lawrence, Peter's next door neighbor and Orlando Jones does a cameo as a magazine subscription salesman.

Summary: One of My Top Ten Comedies
Review: This film is one of the funniest I have ever seen, and all my friends of all ages who see it for the first time are amazed that they have never heard of it since it is so well-done, so believable, so well-acted, so understated, and so funny from beginning to end... I have not met anyone yet who did not think it was one of the best comedies they have ever seen.
