Summary: Brilliant
Review: There are two types of people who will fail to understand the brilliance of this movie: 1. The clueless 2. Those who are not experienced with American pop culture and all of its inane qualities.

That said, you don't have to have experience working in an office to enjoy this movie. For me, it has a universal message in that most of what we do is not at all pleasant. To survive, you have to find stuff that amuses you (such as this movie). A must own DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fed up with the rat race? Office Space is for you
Review: Office Space is the funniest movie I've ever seen in my life. If you've ever had to sit through useless meetings and deal with flagrant incompetence you'll love this movie. Do you drag yourself out of bed only to spend the day following the direction of people whose judgment you don't trust and opinions you don't respect? Let Office Space be your outlet. This movie depicts the laziness and indifference that is prevalent in so many offices. Excellent satire.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One Good Movie
Review: Many of the people on here are becoming too critical with this movie. In my opinion, this is one of the funniest and best movies I have ever seen. Characters like Michael Bolton and Lawrence are just so incredibly funny. 75% of the cast is composed of middle-aged overweight balding men and for some reason that's funny to me. I don't own too many DVDs only because I can't watch many movies more than once or twice, but this movie is full of hilarious scenes that I have to watch every month or two. It's a classic in its own way. If you don't buy it, just watch it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Left us a little cold!!!
Review: I don't quite understand some people. We purchased this movie based on the rather impressive reviews.... The movie has one or two laughs granted, but I sure as hell wouldn't make a big effort to see it again. The performances overall are weak (particulary the rather dreadful Jennifer A)as is the overall plot.

Watch it...but at someone else's expense!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Okay then, but just don't forget.
Review: If you've ever worked in a tiny cubicle, pushed papers, and fought a worthless fax machine in an attempt to earn a living, you will love this movie. OFFICE SPACE is a hilarious movie that deconstructs everything that makes an office worker's life so miserable: from morning traffic, to catch phrases (it looks like somone has the Moondays), to bosses that totally ignore their workers. This movie had a low budget, but Mike Judge is a brilliant filmmaker. He takes a relatively unknown cast and is able to milk hilarious, yet totally lifelike performances from each actor and unites everything together in a coherent conceptually comedy masterpiece (e.g. the fax-beating scene with the ganster music playing is just pure brilliance). Of course, the film says a lot about the actors as well, they don't seem to be just characters or caricatures: they seem like real people. There is no sex, relative little violence (well, there is a lot of violence toward inanimate objects), and relatively little cursing words (most of the foul language comes from the film's soundtrack). A movie that's destined to become a modern comedy classic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gr..ate...
Review: Yeeah, this movie was gr..ate... I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to buy this DVD, that would be gr..ate.. Sincerely, Bill Lumberg (aka R.K.)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: life at work...work sucks
Review: I actually know people who won't watch this because it so closely portrays their work life. Stephen Root (Milton) and Ron Livingston (Peter) do a great job in this cubicle classic. It has truth, humor, and a "don't give a s*#@ attitude" towards work. Definitely a must buy for those computer oriented people out there like myself.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It's Really Good..huh,huh..yeah, good..he..he
Review: Don't get me wrong. I really want to like this film, but it doesn't pass one age old measurement of quality. I would not pay $7.50 to see this at a theater. $4.50 matinee, yes. Rental; yes. Purchase. Not unless I found it for under $8.00.

I have a great deal of respect for Mike Judge. I loved Beavis & Butthead; and got caught up in the whole Hank Hill propane and propane accessories saga. And this film is great in a cartoon reality sort of way. Milton is fantastic (Stephen Root is incredibly versatile); a great caricature of the scary guy cowering in the corner of his cubicle clutching a CLASSIC Swingline stapler.

But it's not really a film about people; per se (sp?). It's really a bunch of funny situations with one liners you always wanted to say. And Mr. Judge can always pick up colloquialisms that define his characters. The a-hole VP who says, "Why don't you go ahead and..." or talks about exchanging ideas and brainstorming and filling in and interface and networking and network solutions and a solution outside the box and pushing the envelope and...

You get the idea. And our protagonist is a GenX slacker who dreams of doing nothing. Not that interesting, and even when he attempts to bring down the company, he's still kinda boring. And he's dating Jennifer Aniston, who plays a character so innocuous that you feel like you're watching her subconsciously.

Add two pals and coworkers; a wannabe Beck "loser" computer geek and a "foreign", overexcited computer geek, and what do you have? A really good cartoon. Even better than Dilbert.

So, all in all, this is a funny film; especially if you watch it for free. It'll probably be on Fox next year.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: OKAY, BUT THAT'S THE LAST STRAW
Review: Milton's mumbling has to be the one reason why I have seen this about 20 times. As many have stated this film is right on the money. There has never been a film depicting the moronic office environment like OFFICE SPACE. I actually feel that this film is an important statement on corporate evil in our country. I was so enamoured by this movie that it is now my favorite 90's comedy.

When will the corporate masses come to realize that they are cubicle cattle, awaiting the slaughter? We act like submissive slaves or buy into the corporate philosophy and become a shell of what we thought we were as people.

The cold accuracy of this film is devastating. And will leave anyone with a conscience just floored. I have seen many of my "smart" friends lose there social integrity because of corporate misguidance.

Hopefully it can bring about revolution.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Office Space
Review: This movie is destined to become a cult film!! It's classic. I laughed til I cried because it hit so close to home. It's a comedic look at contemporary office life in "big city" Texas. I love this movie!!!
