Summary: Not funny enough!
Review: This movie was not funny. The idea was not so bad but I would say that the dialogs and the acting were simply not good enough.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Too funny!
Review: I just bought this movie for my stepfather because I thought he would appreciate seeing this movie. I saw it a couple of years ago and thought that it was so funny! It's directed by Mike Judge who created "Beavis and Butt-Head" and "King of the Hill". It definitely has that kind of humor in it. In some ways it's probably an honest look at how some people are treated at work and how some people try to take revenge. It's a very good movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: If you liked Office Space...
Review: One of those films that gets better with each viewing. The first three-quarters of the film are excellent and worth 5 stars, though for me the last part of the film is not nearly as good. If you like this movie then I strongly recommend you check out a British TV series called 'The Office' which is fantastic. Only available in the UK so you'll need a muti-system DVD player and TV but well worth watching.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent movie to own
Review: I am not a movie-owning person - but this is one to make an exception for. The movie is set in a typical software company out in the cube farm. If you work in IT - or likely any mid to large company - you will recognize people that you work with.

I think that this is the handy work of guy behind Beavis and Butthead - but if you were not a fan of that Mtv cartoon - do not let that dissuade you.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great movie, average DVD
Review: First off, let me say that this movie is incredible! I have seen it probably close to 30 times, and it's still a pleasure to watch! This is one of those rare movies that actually gets better the more you watch it. If you haven't seen this movie, do yourself a favor and go ahead and buy it. Don't bother renting it, because you will just want to watch it again and again. Unfortunatley, the DVD is lacking. There is no special features really, besides a cast bio. I would really have loved to have gotten some additional scenes or something along those lines. But like i said before, the movie more than makes up for it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Swingline Staplers ARE the best
Review: Anyone who has ever survived an office job will find something to appreciate here. Anyone who has ever survived an office job AND can appreciate dark humor will want this DVD in his/her collection.

At times Jennifer Aniston's role in this movie appears somewhat unnecessary, however she is so charming that it's easy to forgive and forget.

The shining stand-out, of course, is Stephen Root as Swingline Stapler-obsessed Milton. It's no wonder he was the only cast member chosen to appear on the cover art.

One last note: Don't settle for the edited-for-television broadcast. View this as it was meant to be seen, naughty language and all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Way underrated
Review: Anyone who has ever worked in corporate America will relate to this hilarious gem.
It is low key as opposed to slapstick comedy. I think the movie was well cast about a cube dweller who had enough and basically quits working and gets a promotion to upper management while his hard working and dedicated buddies get slated for layoffs by "The Bob's" two management consultants.
Ron Livingston does a great job as Pete Gibbons, and Ajay Naidu as "Samir Nu, ne, nunu, uh nnn ,not work here anymore" David Herman as Micheal-why should I change - Bolton.
The boss Lundbergh is played perfectly deadpan by Gary Cole, and I think there is a Tom Smykowski and Milton Waddams in every organization. Lets not forget the "Bob's" I knew two idiot consultants just like them.
Office Space has it all, from stupid meetings, CI programs, and of course the infamous TPS reports - "didn't you get the memo about the new cover sheets?"
I could not stop laughing through the whole thing.

Well worth the price of the DVD, even though the transfer was only fair.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Genuine Cubicle comedy
Review: All of us out there in cubicles can relate to the frusteration and comedy of this movie.....

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Very funny film, bad DVD
Review: I thought Office Space was fantastic...a great comedy dealing with the troubles of confined cubicle work and nightmarish bosses. The DVD left something to be desired though. Very skimpish on the special features. I was also a little frustrated by Fox's lame attempt at promoting the DVD by placing three pictures of Jennifer Aniston on the back of the case, when she barely appears in the film at all, and none of the promo pics even show any of the actual plotline of the film, concerning the three "heroes" Peter Gibbons, Michael Bolton, and Samir Naga-something(no one can ever pronounce his last name). I also loved the performance by Gary Cole as Lumberg. I have found myself spouting off "What's Happening?" to my friends since I first saw the film in '99. Film score: 8 out of 10. DVD score: 3 out of 10

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A capitalist comedic masterpiece
Review: Peter is a cubicle worker who goes to see a hypno-therapist with his girlfriend and, as the therapist dies on the spot, is never awakened from his blissfull state. Subsequent events conspire to promote him, and with his two laid-off co-workers, he elaborates a plan to get rich : while uploading files for the Y2K problem, they include a virus-like program that takes rounded-off dimes from bank operations and puts them in their account, thus making them rich. But everything goes wrong, of course.

Office Space is definitively a hilariously funny comedy, from which it is difficult to extract boring or flat scenes. It is also a refreshing satire of anti-social views about the workplace, in a movie world where hatred of all things corporate is commonplace (which is to be expected, I suppose, given that no one in Hollywood needs to work in cubicles for a living, so they can badmouth it all they want). This is a very precious movie. Its only main problem is being too short - I was left off wanting more ! But that is, of course, a good thing.
