Summary: Absolutely Hilarious! A Must See!
Review: This movie has to be my favorite movie of all time. When I saw this movie I was falling out of my seat laughing as I saw similarities between this movie and my feelings about school. A great movie by Mike Judge and great performances by all the actors, some of which orginal MADTV fans will recognize. A must see for comedy lovers or anybody who has to work.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny comedy for anyone that's ever worked in a cube.
Review: This funny comedy, from the makers of Beavis and Butthead, allows even the happiest of office workers to relate to just about everything in the plot. I saw this video while I was in ID visiting realtives and nearly died laughing... I live in Southern MS and the movie never made it to the big screen here; so I'm waiting for the lowering of the price to the <30 range. One of the funniest movies I've ever seen.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I almost died laughing!
Review: Mike Judge creates a hilarious masterpiece from the beginning to the end in "Office Space". It makes you take a second look at Corporate America and see all the flaws it has. The best scene were the copier bashing scene, the scene where Michael Bolton (no, not the singer) was raping while a black man came by, and when Milton gets pissed off at the company. This movie is definately worth seeing.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A sublime examination of office life
Review: This is a funny movie even if you've never set foot in a cubicle. If you do know, what cubicle life is like, then this movie is even funnier. It's what Dilbert could be if Scott Adams was interested in rocking the (corporate) boat. (Who do think signs those big syndication checks?)

Anyway, the entire case is almost perfect and only a meandering side plot involving the relationship between Peter (Ron Livingston) and Joanna (Jennifer Aniston) keeps this from being a comedy classic.

Rent it, buy it, whatever, but watch it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: DUMB
Review: We saw this movie on a plane trip, and it was dumb. It wasn't even funny! Lame jokes, no plot, no ending.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Any office worker will be rolling on the floor. Hilarious
Review: This is one of the funniest films I have ever seen. It captures the frustration, politics and authoritarianism of office life. As the story unfolds it becomes more insane and hilarious. This is a must see for any office worker. You will never view your day in same way.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you hate your job, you'll want to see this........
Review: (this movie is by Mike Judge, the creator of Beavis and Butthead, so you know it's good) If you hate your job, or don't have a job and think you're missing something, you'll want to see this. Also most kids can relate to how the main character (Livingston) hates his job (like school) and all the annoying things that happen every single day, and all those annoying bosses and co-workers you just want to punch. He does what most dream of but never dare to do... he says screw it and quits, and makes the company that has been useing him all these years and never promoting him and expect all his time, to work for him for a change... But I don't want to give it all away, so let me just say, GIVE YOUR HEART A WORK OUT AND WATCH (and buy) THIS MOVIE FOR NON-STOP LAUGHTER!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best comedy I've ever seen!
Review: I'm only 16 so I haven't experienced the life that this movie is based on, but I still think it's hilarious. My brother bought the movie a few years ago and I've watched it many times and never get tired of the humor. I think that pretty much everyone would find at least some parts of this movie laugh-out-loud funny. The characters are so great, especially Milton and Bill Lumbergh. This is one movie that I think everyone should consider buying, because once you've seen it for the first time you're bound to want to watch it on many more occasions...and force all your friends to watch it with you!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE comedy movie to see from the late 90s
Review: If you see one comedy from the late 90s, see this one! The cast is great, and the story is better. The only person I know who didn't like this movie just doesn't understand the modern industrial/metroplitan environment. Driving to work in Silicon Valley REALLY IS THIS BAD, and if your definition of heavy traffic is going 15-20 mph on the freeway, you might not appreciate this film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Surprisingly Funny
Review: This movie made an almost "psychic" connection with me... the first time I saw it, I had just come home from my nightmare job -- many of the same things depicted in the movie had happened to me that very day, including the printer jam with that exact message "Error - PC Load Letter", while trying to print a report that was already late (what the heck does that message mean, anyway?!).

I related so well to this movie's honest, astute, and technically correct observations of office culture in the 90's, that the brilliantly original bits of commedy were almost incidental to me (I must have annoyed the heck out of my wife with outbursts like "Oh my GOD, that's so TRUE!" every two minutes). I caught some of the more subtle humor in subsequent viewings.

I'll admit, the movie lost its hold on me about 2/3 in, when the main character (who had by this time become an icon to me with his new found "no fear of consequences" attitude) took a strange criminal direction, and his angst began to return. This seemed to break the consistancy. I wan't too thrilled with Jenifer Aniston's performance either, although I suppose that had more to do with her script. In any case, the second time I watched the move, none of this bothered me as much.

I've since purchased the DVD, and have worn this disk out playing it for friends. I'll never get tired of this movie... even the sound track makes me laugh. It's a wonder that it didn't get better reviews, although I guess one really would have had to have experienced office politics in the 90's to fully relate (I wonder when was the last time in the 90's that Ebert heard, "Don't forget to fill in your timesheets!")

Some reviewers gave it low ratings claiming that it was "lightweight"... okay, so it's no Citizen Kane, but it certainly doesn't claim to be either! Give it credit for what it is -- as a lighthearted observational commedy, it's brilliant. And that's not to say that it was a total no-brainer either... on an intelligence level, I'd rate it much higher than say... any movie ever made by the Fairley Brothers (and certainly much lower on the "obnoxious bathroom humor"-scale).

It's a pretty sad testiment to the intelligence of the average North American that movies like "Me, Myself, and Irene" brought in more money than Office Space. I hope Mike Judge doesn't let this stop him from creating another gem.
