Summary: Good until the plot kicks in
Review: This film starts out in a very promising way, offering broadly stereotypical characters in a comically banal work environment. The protagonist's situation resembles that of Ed Norton's character in the brilliant Fight Club; both men occupy boring, empty existences framed by IKEA furniture and jobs of mind-numbing tedium. However, while Fight Club quickly veers into new and exciting cinematic territory, Office Space settles into a formulaic, predictable and utterly inoffensive story about inept white-collar crime. This isn't a terrible movie and, depite relying too much on the single most overused comedic topic of prison life, it does have some funny moments. I'm usually a big Mike Judge fan, but his brand of laziness works far more successfully in a short Beavis and Butthead episode than in this cautious and unambitious first foray into live-action filmmaking.

Summary: "Ye-aahh,we're going to have to ask you to move your desk.."ΓΏ
Review: I trust you've all read your memos concerning the new TPS cover sheets! Sure to acheive cult status - like "The Big Lebowski" - this is a pleasantly funny film whose skewering of all things office-related just seems to get better with each viewing. Too many great bits -you'll be repeating many of them amongst yourselves- to list. Let down only by a rather abrupt and all too pat ending, it's good-natured satire nevertheless projects an underlying bleakness that underscores its relevance. I mean who can't relate to the scene where the sublimely hypnotically indiferent Livingston is promoted to management!

Summary: You'll be quoting from it for weeks...
Review: If you've seen trailers/previews for this movie that make it look lame, ignore them. I saw this movie as an "Oh this will do I suppose" selection from Blockbuster, and found it HILARIOUS. The Bill Lundberg (the boss) character is a hysterical characature; I've been exchanging Lundberg quotes with a friend I work with for over a month. Get a six pack and a big bag of chips, call some of the people from your office and kick back and enjoy. Moments to watch for?...listen to the lead character explain to Jennifer Aniston his new approach to his job.

Summary: Not perfect, but Oh! the lines you'll be repeating
Review: Having been, in my more desperate days, a server for the oppressively corporate T.G.I. Friday's restaurant chain, I can say with some authority that Mike Judge based Chotchkie's more on Friday's than on Chili's or Applebee's or any of those other horrible chains. The "flair" rules to which Jennifer Anniston's character is forced to adhere are absolutely dead-on correct. In fact, about the only difference between Chotchkie's and Friday's is that the vertical stripes on the servers' shirts are green, not red. "Office Space" is a cult film in that it really speaks to a certain segment of society to the point of leaving those outside that segment in the dark. Of course, the number of Americans who work in cubicles in suburban technology parks (and also in corporate theme restaurants) number in the millions, so the "Office Space" cult could be a very large one. Basically, if you work or have worked in one of these environments, you'll probably love this film. If you haven't, then it probably won't be so compelling. As far as the plot goes, it's very wicked and cutting and easy to follow, until Peter's fraud scheme kicks in; then "Office Space" becomes a rather pedestrian heist flick. But the first 80% of the film is incredibly funny, with lots of memorable characters and unforgettable lines. My favorite exchange: "What would you do if you had a million dollars?" "2 chicks at the same time, man."

Summary: Destined to be Become a Cult Hit
Review: Even those with the 5-star reviews can admit it: Office Space isn't that funny the first time around. I had seen it in theaters and thought it was alright, and then saw it on video, and liked it even more. The second time I saw it on video it was even better, by then everyone I was seeing it with could quote the lines and for some reason the movie was well, better. The acting isn't extraordinary, the jokes, while good, aren't as funny as some of the stuff presented in the better comedies, but Office Space is still a fun time to watch, and it sure has replay value...

Summary: Hate your job? See this movie!
Review: I've never laughed so hard at a movie in my life. Every time I watch this movie, it just gets better. From the opening scene where Micheal Bolton is rapping with the radio to the employee evaluation with the Bobs, I've never identified with a character in a movie more. Big Slacker, Ron++

Summary: A great comedy, but not what you'll expect.
Review: This is a great comedy, but it probably wont be what you're expecting. It could've been a non-stop Dilbert-esque movie, but it's not. That could be good or bad depending on what you're looking for. In between the wise-cracks is some serious criticism on today's 'cubicle' job scene. You should definitely rent before buy. Note that I'm not participating in the "1 or 5 stars only" policy that plagues amazon. This is NOT by any means a five star movie! I probably shouldn't even give it four stars, but I digress...

Summary: Cheaper to Buy it
Review: I made the mistake of renting this movie the first time around instead of just buying it. If you work in an office "cubicle" environment, then this movie is for you. I have probably seen the whole movie through at least 6 times, and I STILL find little bits and pieces that crack me up. When your introduced to each of the characters, you'll most likely be thinking "Yeah, I know a person like that, maybe not exactly, but close." This movie is not for 10% of the population...those who have no sense of humor. The rest of us will enjoy and enjoy and enjoy...

Summary: Hilarious DVD
Review: I have watched this DVD 3 times so far and it still makes me laugh everytime. I think that if you ever have a problem with the "Mondays", then this is a show for you. Expecually if you are an office person. It's very funny. And it keeps you interested. (and i'm not and office person) You have got to see it to know what I mean!

Summary: Mike Judge King of Comedy!
Review: From the opening sequence of the dreaded traffic jam on the way to work to the gut busting finale this film earned its comedic stripes. you won't find a movie this year that has this many memorable lines and bits from the running gag on Michael Bolton to the hillarious scene where the three frustrated office workers get revenge on a hated piece of office equipment. For anybody who works period this movie will be a haunting reminder of life in office hell! Did I mention the fact that Milton is one of the funniest comic characters of all time? (I could burn the building down) (If she's lucky I'll show her my oh face!) Just a little taste of the comical lines of the movie. If you love humor and a movie that will just make you laugh over and over again rent or better yet buy this movie you won't regret it!
