Rating: Summary: True Corporate America Review: Probably the funniest movie about corporate America that I have EVER seen. From disgruntled employees to annoying co-workers, this movie has it all. A definate buy. If you enjoy movies like Caddy Shack and Princess Bride, you will love this.
Rating: Summary: Most Hilarious Film Ever Review: This comedy is really absolutely magnificent. I laughed my head off each of the twelve times I have seen it. I saw two times and then I decided to tape it to keep it forever. Incredible film. You have to see it now.
Rating: Summary: Poor satire.... Review: What a poor satire on office culture and a poor attempt on mimicing what is so successful in the Dilbert cartoons. I heard the movie was amusing, but when I watched it, I found nothing funny about it. I had to shut the movie off after 30 minutes of trying to find a good reason to laugh.
Rating: Summary: Much better than the preview! Review: When the ads for this movie came out I figured it was another generic, tired, '90's comedy. How wrong I was. I only saw it recently when a number of my friends recommended it. I watched it on cable for the 1st time and was laughing hysterically throughout. This film pokes fun at "fitting in", which is the most important part of American business next to profits. Each character is an individual who doesn't fit in the system, be it the rap-loving Michael Bolton, or the TPS-report hating Peter Gibbons. The 2nd half of the movie moves dangerously close to becoming bogged down in a rather stupid crime crusade, but it's rescued by the antics of Milton, a hilarious character who appears regularly throughout the film. I only wish the film company had done a better job promoting this movie; it's much funnier than the ads make it seem. After my friend and I watched the DVD edition of the film we took time to watch the theatrical trailer. We both agreed the trailer was very weak compared to the film itself and probably kept a number of potential viewers away.
Rating: Summary: This movie gets better at every viewing Review: I saw this movie in the theaters when it came out, and it was great, but it's even better at home in the second and third viewings. Mike Judge has created a work which taps into the real life of cubicle dwellers. It looks at office life with humor which works on many levels and satirizes those of us who spend our lives as slaves to our jobs.
Rating: Summary: Geek Cult Classic? Review: I've rented the movie twice and plan to buy (at least) two copies. Having spent 30 years in the Information Systems field I'd have to say that this film has the makings of a Geek Cult Classic. It is right-on the cube life-style. Its also starting to work its way around the Gen-X'ers. In my department, we're planning on stocking up on red Swingline Staplers.
Rating: Summary: Not just for office workers Review: Anyone who has ever worked can relate to this film. Its the sad truth today that most people in fact do not like their jobs, and this movie effictively gets a good laugh out of this fact. I think deep down we are all like Peter, if we had alot of money we probably would just relax and do nothing. For some reason I find myself watching it constantly...it seems just as good each time I watch it! It is hilarious and truthful at the same time. I would rank it with Clerks in a tie for the best movie about working schmoes ever made.
Rating: Summary: A lack of quality. Review: I was very dissappointed with Office Space. I expected great things from this movie based on the trilers the movie seemed like an interesting concept and something most people could relate to. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. The only humor in this film are provided by two characters with about 5 minutes of screen time shared between them. I'll just say that this movie could have been done better.
Rating: Summary: . Review: An entertaining low-budget comedy. Although it seems to lose focus in the last half, it manages to be consistently enjoyable. Stephan Roots (?) incarnation of Milton is quite rich. Many of the jokes are fairly obvious, but they're also on target, and there's just enough genuine cleverness at play to keep the movie alive and well all the way through. This film also features an absolutely brilliant (and brilliantly used) soundtrack of rap, and two stand-out, profoundly hilarious sequences. Definitely recommended.
Rating: Summary: Simply the best... Review: Yeah... I'm going to have to "go ahead" and rent this movie again because I missed most of it due to the fact that I was laughing too hard to keep up with the story line. Seriously though, this movie was simply the best movie I've ever seen. Other than the types of people the movie was being critical of, (mindless corporate suits and drones), I can't imagine anybody not loving this film.
