Summary: You live the life - Now watch the movie!!!
Review: If you've ever worked at a hi-tech firm, gone through the ups and downs of the industry, and lived to see another day - well, this movie is for you!!

Charged with oh so true scenes that seem to be taken from real life, this amazing movie is just the right flavor of humor so many of us out there crave for.

Mike Judge outdid himself this time, bringing us a movie that is just...TERIFFIC.

--Oren.

Summary: Modern day "Better off Dead"
Review: This movie was done in classic 80's style and has strong similarities to one of my old favorites: "Better Off Dead". In both movies, an average guy one day decides to turn against his mundane and hopeless life to win the day. It even shares the element of a hilarious goofball whose character is slowly developed in little transitional scenes to receive the butt of some joke. In Better Off Dead, it was Ricky; and in Office Space, Milton (the character whose short sketches by Mike Judge gave birth to this movie). David Herman was sort-of ok as Michael Bolton, but I wish they'd cast John Cusack for his part.

The movie focuses on a trio of software developers who do some really stupid things in the face of a company layoff. The plot isn't great, but what carries the movie is that every scene is darned funny -- most of it is achingly so.

I work at a fairly large software company, and everyone on the technical side there is hip to this movie. The phrase: "Did you get the memo about those new TPS report covers?" has become a pretty standard response.

Summary: laugh until you quit your job
Review: this is quite possibly the best movie ever.
if you have ever worked in any type of office, then you will like it 100 times more.
no special effects or huge stars, (small part played by jennifer aniston) because it is not that type of movie.
it is just real and damn funny, and some of the best michael bolton humor i have ever seen.
if you do not wind up on the floor within the first half hour of this film, you have no sense of humor whatsoever.

Summary: [DANG] IT FEELS GOOD TO BE A GANSTA !!!
Review: This movie is so funny I don't know where to begin.Anybody can relate to this movie because we've all had jobs we hated at one time or another in our lives.I'm not going to tell you what the story is about because most of the other reviewers have already done so,but the underlying message is this... you can either be a robot and do nothing with your life or you can follow your instincts and make something of your life and be happy.Nobody portrays that better than Peter Gibons(played by Ron Livingston)A really great movie that reminds us of the fact that we all have choices,but what choice will you make? 5 stars all the way!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mike Judge Scores with NASCAR Analogy in the Workplace!
Review: Ron Livingston stars as Jeff Gordon in this thinly-veiled homage to NASCAR's Winston Cup Series in the late 1990's. Against all odds, the young outsider finds a way to fit in and succeed in an environment wherein success is typically reserved for those who normally take a much more well-travelled path of self-induced pain and humiliation (IE, the Busch Grand National Series).
>
Also starring Jennifer Aniston as Brooke Gordon (who is obviously the Perfect Woman...who ELSE could look that good and share an affinity for the 1970's classic TV show "Kung Fu") and Diedrich Bader, who in all his mullet-headed glory plays the working class "everyman" representing NASCAR's collective "true roots" fanbase who learns to accept (and even work side by side with) Livingston's self-actualized hero by the end of the production...this movie cleverly presents to those not normally inclined to follow Winston Cup auto racing the intricacies and complexities of a typical race season from Daytona in February to Atlanta (most years) in November.
>
Of course this is all complete nonsense...but reviews that claim this movie was based on the reviewer's own 9-to-5 gig are hopelessly passe' by now. Understand simply that this is an extremely funny movie. "Beavis & Butthead" may have made a name for Mike Judge before this came along, but if there's any justice at all in this world, Judge will be remembered for this movie...and Tony Stewart will be kicked out of Joe Gibbs Racing in time for the 2002 NASCAR season.

Summary: Funny, until the caper starts...
Review: There are a lot of things to like about this movie, especially about how it gets the little things right about the perils of working in an office: the (unavoidable) doorknob that always shocks you when you touch it, the malfunctioning printer, etc. It also nails many of the inhabitants of the corporate world: I've seen the real-life equivalents of every one of these characters in one form or another during my time in cubeland. It also does a great job of capturing the upside-down logic of the corporate world (such as when Peter, who spends his day avoiding work, is promoted, and his hard-working cubemates Michael and Samir get laid off).

The trouble with Office Space, though, is that it has trouble sustaining its vision of the workings of corporate hell. This movie is at its funniest for about the first third, when it shows a subtly amplified version of the real corporate world. However, it soon turns into a routine caper movie, and that's where it loses it. The movie continues to take a few jabs at the miserable life that many cube dwellers go through (such as the indignities heaped on Milton, the poor schmoe who is sent down into the roach-infested basement to work), but the parts of the movie where the protagonists are trying to exact revenge on the company (the bulk of the latter part of the movie) are not all that funny becuase they are not very realistic. I wish Mike Judge had come up with a more clever way for Peter, Michael and Samir to stick it to their (former) employer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best comedy ever, probably best movie ever
Review: Watching this movie for the first time you will think it is funny. Watch it again and it will be even funnier. Your 3rd, 5th, etc... you will start to memorize all the lines because its so good. Every line is great, thats what makes this movie so good. Every part of the movie from beginning to end is hilarious. I mean how can you beat the jump to conclusions mat and the samir.. naga.. ahaga... not gonna work here anymore lines. Also the lasting appeal is awesome... the reason you should buy it. I don't usually watch movies more than once or twice, but this movie is so good that i never get sick of watching it. Each time you watch it you will pick up on something new and laugh and laugh and laugh. Don't even think twice, seriously, just buy it. If you don't like it then i'll pay ya $20 bucks!! Even if you are young, a teen, or old this movie will appeal to you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny as heck
Review: When my friend and I rented this, it changed our world of inside jokes and punchlines forever. This movie is halarious.

It's not really the funniest movie in the world when your actually watching it, I only laughed out loud at a half dozen or so scenes, but all of the little puns are the kind that you think are funny for ages afterwords, and unlike most comedy films, Office Space actually had re-view value. I won't gauruntee it, but I'll bet you'll find your self saying "I'm going to set the building on fire" and laughing ALOT after you see this.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not so funny
