Summary: A Relatively Unknown Gem
Review: I stumbled across this comic takeoff on the office world of cubicles and idiotic bosses when surfing idly through the channels one night and was delighted to find it a very funny if farfetched frolic with a relatively unknown leading man, Ron Livingston. (Livingston is better known now since his star turn in "Band of Brothers", the highly praised WW II HBO miniseries). The only member of the cast likely to be familiar to virtually every viewer is Jennifer Aniston, in a relatively small but likeable role as Livingston's new girlfriend. The other cast members are all very good, especially Gary Cole as the obnoxious boss, but none is well known, which may be one of the reasons this comedy is so charming. At any rate, this tale of the hypnosis-inspired revolt of one of the cyber-drones in a maddeningly supervised office is very funny and utilizes the talents of its not-well-known actors with great effectiveness. I am told that the film has become something of a cult favorite among those who toil in the computer/tech world, with good reason.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A laugh and a half...
Review: The first time I watched this film I expected more from it but once I played it a few more times I really began to enjoy it. If you like Mike Judge and you too are sick and tired of your job, this flick is for you. Ron Livingston and Gary Coleman play perfect adversaries. This movie seems to prove a good point: "Human beings were not meant to sit in little cubicals staring at computer screens all day.". I myself am a computer junkie and believe this line to it's totality. If you're stressed and want an original comedy, get this movie.

Cockgobblers!

Summary: A good laugh
Review: I am a big fan of Mike Judge. I really love the shows "Beavis and Butthead" and "King of The Hill". This movie had pretty much the same kind of silly humor. That guy with the stapler was so funny! Anyone who hasn't seen this should go see it right this minute.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic Film About Office Life
Review: Rather simple, yet very funny film for those who work in an office. Great characters. Cult-like following (like Fletch, Swingers, etc.)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Realistic For A Comedy...
Review: Mike Judge, the man behind the notorious duo of chuckling, burrito eating idiots Beavis and Butthead, manages to capture the frustration of cubicle drones everywhere in this nifty little comedy. The cast was well chosen and it's an overall entertaining movie. However, there were a few "adult" scenes that only damage the charming effect that the plot has on its audience. All in all, it's definitely worth owning. A must have for anyone anywhere who hates their job.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I'm bronzing my Swingline stapler in Milton's Honor!
Review: Um, yeeaahhhh. I'm gonna have to go ahead and give this movie five stars. Yeah. And I'm gonna have to go ahead and say that it is an instant classic. Yeah. OK? Greeeaaat. "Watch out for your cornhole!"

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A 5 star movie, a 3 star DVD
Review: When I first saw "Office Space" in theatres I was more than happy with the results. The word funny can't really help you grasp the hilarity of this movie, and if you haven't had the chance to catch it yet don't delay any longer. It often escapes me why this movie didn't bring in millions at theatres, instead it ended up becoming a cult classic among teenagers and adults alike. Mike Judge did an excellent job with a movie that never ceases to have me in stitches, while Ron Livngston's portrayal of Peter is picture perfect.

The DVD however is another story, it lacks many features that are deserving of such a classic movie. Besides a scene selection screen, theatrical trailer, Dolby Surround sound and Language selection this is a lacking DVD. The least they could of done is thrown in the "Milton" shorts created by Mike Judge that the movie was loosely based around. I'll admit it's refreshing to see such a clear presentation, my VHS copy has become old and worn after many viewings.

Like I've said the movie is great, the DVD is a little rough around the edges and could of used more features. But if you have the choice between this and VHS format, spring for the DVD version, the quality is noticeable, and hey at least you'll have scene selection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely hilarious!
Review: This is going to sound like a broken record after reading all the other reviews, but definitely BUY THIS MOVIE! I didn't think I would even like it because I usually prefer more highbrow stuff(rented at the recommendation of a coworker), but I had a 5-night rental and ended up WATCHING IT EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. I now own it, and it is a joy to watch -- I keep noticing something new. There is broad humor here, but the real gems are in the little details that make our offices (and lives) pure hell. If you have ever wanted your cubicle neighbor to turn down their radio; if you have ever been forced to comply with memos that defy common sense; if your office has ever been taken over by arrogant consultants -- you owe it to yourself to check this out. Not high art, but really, really smart.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Got A Case Of The Mondays? Watch This Film!
Review: Every few minutes, I kept saying, "I have LIVED this movie. I have WORKED with those people. I have SUFFERED in that cube farm." And I laughed. I laughed harder than I've laughed at a movie in years. I laughed because it's dark and raw and cynically funny, not because it's what passes for comedy these days (raunchy sex and language that would make a sailor blush--though that can be funny too; see JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK for a great example).

Mike Judge (of BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD and KING OF THE HILL fame) brings to life a Dilbert-esque fantasy through the eyes of everyman Peter Gibbons, cube farm dot-com slave working on fixing the Y2K problem and hating every moment of his miserable work existence. He's got eight bosses (one of whom is played by Gary Cole in a performance so magnificent that you will wonder if he shadowed your boss for a few days to get acting tips--he's that realistic), all of whom jump his case whenever he makes mistakes. He's surrounded by the lady with the annoying voice, co-workers cursing at a broken fax machine, the old timer who sees layoffs around every corner...and Milton, the weird guy we've all seen in our offices, the mumbler, the nervous wreck, the guy we all take bets on when he'll snap and go postal. A visit to a hypnotherapist turns Peter's life around, and he stops caring about his job...just as two efficiency consultants arrive to review company practices and procedures. But instead of getting fired, Peter gets a promotion while his two best friends get fired, and the three of them plot to take their revenge on the nameless, faceless corporation making their lives miserable.

Look for Jennifer Aniston in a very nice small role as a waitress at a TGIFriday-esque restaurant who becomes Peter's girlfriend and learns to stand up for herself at her job. Look fast or you'll miss Orlando (7-Up) Jones in a bit part that is so funny and so real that you'll wonder how long he studied those guys who go door-to-door with the magazine subscriptions. But most of all, look at the atmosphere of this film and marvel at how eerily accurate it is. They say you know your job stinks when you think of Dilbert as more autobiographical than funny; your job is really terrible when you can spot your office in OFFICE SPACE. See it soon!
