Summary: What would I do with a million dollars? Absolutely nothing..
Review: Office Space could very well be the funniest movie ever made. Yes, that's a bold statement, but watch this movie, and you'll most likely agree! Is this movie only for those who have worked in an office environment? No, but those who have will get the most out of it.

It's really hard to find many faults with this movie. The characters are developed well, Mike Judge (Beavis and Butthead, King of the Hill) did a great job in directing his first live action film, and the story is amusing and easy to relate to.

By the time you see this movie 5 or 6 times (beleive me, you will) you'll be reciting all of the funniest lines Monday morning at work. (There are more than enough to last for weeks) And that brings me to my next point. If you really dislike your job, watch this movie after an exceptionally bad day. You'll feel so much better afterwards! Just don't try any of the things that go on in this movie at work. You'll be fired for sure!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Satirical and funny...
Review: I've just started studying an MBA in the U.S.(I am going through my second semester), and I saw this film a couple of weeks ago. The first ten minutes did not tell me anything good, since it seemed one of those low budget, "C" type, uninteresting comedies that invite you to switch channel.

I am glad I didn't, because we eventually had a lot of fun with the dialogs and situations, a long discussion after the film was finished, and I saw lots of things that have to do with my management courses...

Very recommendable, either to de-stress, or to realize that THAT (all the bad karma and nonsense by people who just want to control you and your life) is what you want to avoid, by all means. On the job, or in everyday life...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is my life
Review: Excellent movie! I've rented it 2 weekends in a row now, buying it today...absolutely hilarious. The cast is perfect. Anyone who has worked in this enviorment can relate completely...you'll think it's your life on camera. With my company downsizing at the moment, this movie couldn't have come at a better time...life truly is to short to put up with the BS of the corporate world...This movie is just what I needed to finally make the decision to leave! WOOHOO!

Summary: Funniest movie ever!
Review: This was seriously one of the best movies I have ever seen. I rented it and watched it 4 times, then skipped to some of the really funny parts and watched them a few more times. It almost gets funnier every time you watch it. A lot of the subtle humor goes unnoticed by some people, but I thought it was all great. Even the parts that aren't hysterically funny are still entertaining. Great movie, must buy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Bullseye!
Review: This movie is hilarious. Mike Judge directed a great movie that has gone relatively unnoticed. You will feel like you have met alot of the characters because they are all so diverse. Everyone knows a Michael Bolton, Milton, guy with the "oh face" quote, etc. The cubicle satire is great and brought back alot of memories for me.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Guaranteed to become a cult classic
Review: Anybody who has ever worked at a dead end job in a cube farm will love this movie. A perfect, deadpan mockery of the unfulfilling lives of late-nineties white collar yuppies. If only they'd left out the whole Ron Livingston-Jennifer Aniston love interest subplot, I would have given it a five.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shines where others fail
Review: Office Space succeeds where Amercian Beauty and Fight Club fail. It captures the moribound existence of late '90's office life in the suburbs without the overdrawn artsy pretentiousness of American Beauty and without the crazed plot twist of Fight Club. American Beauty tried to treat Kevin Spacey's situations as comical and it came across as awkward. Not here. Director Mike Judge, of Beavis and Butthead fame, shows why he is the Hunter S. Thompson/Tom Wolfe of the '90's. Throught his work, especially in Office Space, Judge reveals the ugly truth behind society's facade of economic good times in an irreverant manner. Office Space should soon be a cult favorite thanks to its classic scenes that warrant repeated viewing. The slow motion death-by-baseball bat-beating of a fax machine is both hilarious and profound. Some deride the movie for its ending, but the film's conclusion should not seem far-fetched to anyone who has read Voltaire's Candide. So if you're looking for a movie that captures what it means to be a young working adult without pompousness or art-house flavour, Office Space is perfect.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Lost opportunities
Review: The previous reviewer said it better: it was good until the plot kicked in.

Many opportunities were lost in this movie. The multiple bosses, the consultants who are evaluating who to lay off, the silly procedures - all could've been portrayed as more political, more futile or evil. Instead these people are portrayed as cartoonish little characters that you would see in a silly musical about office life.

The white collar crime part was the majority of the story and scotched the fun we were having so far.

The ending was a bummer, too. I won't spoil it for you, but the screenwriters must not have held jobs outside the office environment if they think that other non-office professions are so ideal.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Funny and very relatable at times!
Review: What a funny movie! And I mean funny in the sense of clever dialogue, witty characters, humorous jabs at work life, that kind of funny. Unlike a lot of the gross-out comedies of late, (Austin Powers 2, Big Daddy, American Pie, There's Something About Mary, etc.), this movie relied on a humorous situation we could all relate to. That boss or manager we all HATE. Those confusing mindboggling printer and computer programs. When your finger gets shocked by the metal doorknob. These are honest laughs that are cleverly constructed.

Of course, I would like to say that a few of those gross-out comedies I DID LIKE. I'm just saying that it's refreshing when a comedy film comes out that doesn't use toilet humor or sex jokes.

I wish there could have been more features on this DVD, though. Aside from the trailer for the film, there isn't anything else. By the way, I LOVE THE TRAILER! Last January when I saw the trailer for the first time, it was the first time I had heard Fatboy Slim's "The Rockafeller Skank". It took me forever to find out what that song was in the commercial. Now it's my current fave.

Getting back to the flick, I love Ron Livingston's everyman performance. Gary Cole is continuing his reign of comic hilarity as the boss "Lumbergh". I thought "Michael Bolton" and his gangsta' rap was hilarious! The only underwritten cheesy role was Jennifer Aniston as the "girlfriend".

I would totally give this FIVE stars had they developed Jennifer Aniston's character and if they had put "The Rockafeller Skank" in the actual movie. Love that song!
