Rating: Summary: Sad how accurate this is. Review: It really is amazing how Mike Judge captures all the intricacies of working in a cubicle atmosphere. The annoying boss. The characters that work around you. Hawaiian shirt day. If you have ever worked in a cube, you must rent this movie. It is hysterical.
Rating: Summary: dangerously close to real life !! Review: In a nutshell, this movie is a wicked take on the wretched life of software engineers.I worked in the software industry for just one year and I am still able to relate whatever happens in this movie to my daily routine. The "PC-Load Letter" printer, the efficiency experts, the manager with the coffee mug.. man ! everything has been so accuratly portrayed ! Yes.. life as a software engineer does become monotonous so quickly that you will start searching for an psychiatrist, as Peter does. I did not like the ending of the movie and the little "techno-heist" that these people plan. The movie was funny and hilarious till the last few scenes and somehow became a little dull and boring at the end. Maybe the directors thought that it is compulsory to have some sort of a story in the movie... just for the sake of having it. (Not a good idea at all...) Gary Cole (Bill Lumbergh), Ron Livingston (Peter), Ajay Naidu (Sameer) and David Herman (Micheal Bolton !) have done an excellent job, while Jennifer Aniston doesn't impress much.. Maybe that's because of her script or something. Anyways, this is a great movie to own ...
Rating: Summary: Hehehe...Monkey LIKE Office Space! Review: OFFICE SPACE is a really funny movie,period.But aside from all the obvious dialogue gags and long,awkward moments between the characters, Mike hits it right on the nail with this movie's hilariously apathetic chords. Withdrawn and charming on every level, a lot of the little things in this movie, like the Jazzy 20's music being played when the Initech corporation building burns to the ground, and the "Thirty Items Of Flair" joke make this movie deserving of a couple BIG belly laughs!
Rating: Summary: Mad for Milton Review: It isn't the plot that made me watch this movie heaps of times,it is all the really crazy and funny characters.Brilliant.
Rating: Summary: Inspiration for the little guy Review: Oh...if only life were this sweet. Gaff off work and get promoted. Hit on an indredibly hot woman and have her come to you. Tell her you're not going to work or paying bills anymore, and that you like Kung Fu and have it work out okay. This movie may not be believable, but it is inspiration. It will speak to almost anyone who has ever had a bad day on the job. Ask any enlisted Marine what a TPS report is. I bet he can tell you where he heard that phrase before.
Rating: Summary: Must see Review: If you've ever worked in a cunicla this is the movie for you.
Rating: Summary: Work Is No Fun Review: From Director Mike Judge, Office Space is one of the greatest comedies out there! Loved it so much. You relate to charactors, you hate the boss, Jennifer Aniston's charactor you fall in love with, and lets not forget Milton(Oh my God, Milton... he's the best charactor out of the entire movie!) Well directed and well acted and well casted. This movie is a must for ...everybody that works!
Rating: Summary: Grows On You Like a Wonderful Fungus Review: Several points in the movie made me almost die laughing. Funny as [anything]! ... even on the 20th watching (seriously). Very highly recommended to anyone who enjoys irreverant humor.
Rating: Summary: Oh! Oh! Oh! Review: Pure comic genius is what I would use to describe this. I never get tired of this movie no matter how many times I see it. It is one of the funniest movies about the workplace to ever come out. Mike Judge outdid himself with this one and he pretty much hit the nail on the head with how these big corporations conduct their business and how disgruntled they make their workers. All the actors are very funny and believable in their roles. One thing I don't understand is why the DVD doesn't have an anamorphic transfer. This is not an old film, so I don't understand what the studio was thinking. Until they fix the problem with a new special edition, I'm not going to shell out any more money. My VHS tape is good enough until Fox decides to give this underrated comedy some attention.
Rating: Summary: "A 4-star hilarious comedy from Mike Judge" Review: Office Space, starring Ron Livingston and Jennifer Aniston and directed by Mike Judge (the creator of Beavis and Butthead), is indeed a very funny comedy about work and how boring it could be. For a straight hour and a half you'll be treated to a pure helping of jokes, each which will succeed in making you laugh. With pure Beavis and Butthead humor, Mike Judge's comedy is a winner and deserves to be seen by all comedy fans. Featuring a good cast that includes Stephen Root and John C. McGinley, Office Space is a comedy that you must go out and rent now! Satisfaction guaranteed. Ron Livingston plays a character named Peter Gibbons, a computer guy who works at a company called Initech. He has eight bosses so every time he makes the smallest mistake, he is commented eight times. After several incidents, Peter becomes stressed and decides to go for therapy. When he comes out he decides not to go to work and start enjoying his life. He tries to spend more time with his girlfriend (Aniston, The Good Girl) and only comes to work to wreck stuff and play games on his computer. However, this attitude lands him a promotion and some of his partners get fired. Anxious for revenge, Peter and his partners decide to perform a scam to steal money from this computer company. Every time the company transfers money, they will get a fraction of every penny. However, instead of the fraction of a cent they're supposed to get, they wind up with over 350,000 dollars. Now, they must figure out away to get themselves out of this situation and not get Gibbons fired. I won't wreck the ending for you but this truly is a great comedy. The performances are satisying. Ron Livingston, who we don't see much these days, gives a very good performance as Peter and Jennifer Aniston provides us with a good performance as a waitress and Peter's girlfriend. John C. McGinley (starring now in the TV show Scrubs) gives a star-making performance as one of Peter's bosses and there are several cameos by people such as Orlando Jones. The movie is destined to become a comedy classic if people would just not miss it when passing the comedy section at the video store. Maybe it is a bit over-rated but you still got to see it. Mike Judge is simply a comedic genius. The only bad part about it is that it didn't go on. Comedy fans, this is a must for you. A satifying and hilarious comedy! Title: Office Space Actors/Actresses: Ron Livingston, Jennifer Aniston, Stephen Root, John C. McGinley. Director: Mike Judge Rated R for scenes of strong language, crude and sexual humor, and brief nudity.
