Rating: Summary: Rent This "Space" Tonight Review: How many of you have, at work, ever had the same minor "mistake' pointed out by three or more "supervisors"? How many have been told you have a bad attitude? Do you seek to validate your work-related malaise?If you've ever toiled at a medium-pay, low-mental-stimulation office job or at Friday's or ( as is the case of my assistant) both, you will have a great appreciation of Mike Judge's minor white collar masterpiece. Adding to this viewer's pleasure was the thoroughly enjoyable, Cali-oriented gangsta rap soundtrack.
Rating: Summary: Comedy Cult Classic! Review: This has easily become one of my favourite movies to watch! Non-stop, real-life humor make this a hilarious trip through corporate office life. No matter what you do for a living, there's something in this movie that you can relate to. The two best characters are Milton and Lumbergh...they're so funny I wish a CD could be released simply filled with everything they say in this movie. Mike Judge sure knew what he was doing when he made this (and he's pretty funny as the Chochtkie's restaurant manager, too!) Don't buy it now at its current $103 price -- rent it instead. When the price drops -- then buy it!
Rating: Summary: If you work in an office, this is a must-see. Review: If you are an office worker, Office Space hits home. We all know the characters and the situations and being able to laugh at them is very cathartic, and boy do you laugh. This story is filled with strange characters and they all make you laugh, plus there's a plot!
Rating: Summary: My rating is off the scale Review: Ok, I work in a sucky suburban-corporate office, complete with the "crap on the walls" generic restaurants nearby. This is the finest film ever made. In essence, it seems to really replicate my life.
Rating: Summary: Good for a few laughs Review: This movie started out with some pretty funny bits, but it ran out of steam. You could see the ending coming from a mile away. Maybe Mike ran out of ideas. It just dragged on and on towards the end. As Butthead would say, "What in the hell is this crap?"
Rating: Summary: 5 stars for the movie, 3 for the dvd Review: A great comedy that unfortunatley disappeared too quickly in theaters, Office Space is more subtle than say, Austin Powers, or American Pie, but is just as funny. The non-raunch low decibel comedy is a dying art form, but at least there are movies like this. A classic that I hope whose time will come, it is so much better than a Dilbert knock off that it got pegged as. The DVD is sorely lacking, however. As Mike Judge's first live action film, it would have been nice to have a commentary track by him explaining the learning process and of course making some jokes. The original "Milton" animated shorts the movie was based on could have all easily fit on the disc but aren't included here. Looks like the company is squeezing what money it can out of doing as little as possible for the disc. Hmmm..maybe they should have actually watched the movie?
Rating: Summary: Like looking in a mirror. Review: Mike Judge did his homework. As a computer programmer, I can say that this satire is right on the money!
Rating: Summary: Truth is stanger (and funnier) than fiction! Review: This movie is a must see for anyone who has worked in a "cubicle dweller enviromnet". This movie is much more true to life than I had expected (don't fear the dog who barks, fear the dog who quietly growls). Almost every scene in this movie has happened to me in some way, shape or form ("PC Letter Load?!?! What the ---- does that mean?!?!"). Anyone who doesn't find this movie funny must either: Never have worked in a large company, gone straight to middle management, or be utterly humorless. One of the funniest movies I have seen in a while.
Rating: Summary: Best Comedy of 1999!!! Review: A very Funny movie with some great actors, especially the guy from MAD TV as Michael Bolton. The gangster scenes of the killing of the copy machine and the computer virus being put into the company they work for are hilarious!!!
Rating: Summary: This is gut-splitting, laugh-out-loud comedy Review: This is gut-splitting, laugh-out-loud comedy, similar to "Clerks." It will warm the heart of anyone who hates bureaucracy and lack of a merit system at work.
