Office Space

What a hillarious movie! I really enjoyed. I had some expection before watching it since there are a lot of positive reviews but I didnt expected this much. All the charactors are so funny and charming. Ron Livingston is very stable and ruled the screen and all other actors did their job really well. The director knew what he is doing. He touched every detail and made everything in his own way. Jennifer Aniston is prettier then ever before or after. She did her job very well too. Also the music is very fun to listen. Rap song totally matched with each situation and they rock! I didnt felt that 1:40:00 passed that quick. This movie is strange. I saw it yesterday and I am still thinking of charactors from the movie even today. Its a strange powerful comedy. I already want to see it again.

Mike Judge once again does a fantastic job marrying the absurd with legitimate satire. Highly recommended for anybody with experience in the corporate world and even the slightest sense of humor.

Cute office comedy.

After having rented nearly all the videos at our local mom & pop video rental store, and after this one came off the new release (more expensive) shelves, we gave it a try. (Ill try any movie for $1.)... Im proud to say that after renting it in excess of five times, we finally broke down and bought it. A better purchase I could not have made! This movie is clever, hilarious, and populated with some great characters. Also, its infinitely quotable, and nearly every scene rings true. Thank goodness Mike Judge departed from Beavis & Butthead to make this gem of a cinematic masterpiece. (Okay, you might not file it next to The Godfather, but you would definitely put it somewhere between the Marx Brothers and Wes Anderson/Owen Wilsons Bottle Rocket) Make that comedic masterpiece. For my money, it doesnt get much better than when John C. McGinley gives his monologue about Michael Bolton, or when Diedrich Bader comes over as the friendly neighbor, or when Mike Judge cameos and talks about flair, or when vengeance is taken on a certain office appliance... you get the idea. (As I was making that list, about eight other favorite scenes popped into my head). If you havent seen it, give it a try. If you have seen it and rented it more than twice (or recommended it to all your friends) then do yourself a favor and get it on DVD before its no longer being sold. Movies this classic dont come along very often...

A delightfully funny and heart warming romantic comedy (with emphasis on comedy) which was the first time I saw Ron Livingston acting; he plays Peter Gibbons. He is extremely funny as a somewhat pathetic and alienated office worker (computer programmer) who is used and abused by the computer software company he works for as is his two friends. After a botches hypnosis session that is supposed to make Peter content with his life as a computer programmer but instead emboldens him to live his life completely disregarding any consequences regarding his work (like fishing instead of working, sleeping in until 11:00 am then showing up for work for a few hours and then leaving), consultants advise him that his two buddies, fellow programmers Michael Botton (David Herman) and Samir (Ajay Naidu), two of the best programmers and most senior employees will be fired to save money by outsourcing their programming to India. Peter convinces his two friends help him defraud the company they work for at the rate of few pennies a day using a computer virus designed by David so that after several years they will have a tidy nest egg in savings. Peter, thanks to the hypnosis session, finds the boldness he previously lacked and begins dating Joanna (Jennifer Aniston); quickly they fall in love. Unfortunately, his romance is interrupted when he checks how Michaels virus is working. In one day, the computer program that should have collected a couple pennies collects over a $100,000. Faced with certain discovery, Peters friendship with Samir and Michael as well as his romance with Joanna are shattered, and Peter plans to turn himself in while taking all the blame for the crime so that his friends will remain free. While on the way to the police and jail, Peter notices a fire (set by a different disgruntled employee) that burns down the computer company he works for, thus destroying all the incriminating accounting documents that might trace him to the crime; BTW, the money is also destroyed by the fire. This intended act of self-sacrifice regains the friendship of Samir and Michael, as well as the respect of Joanna. Thus, Peter is saved from jail, is reunited with his love, and regains the friendship of his two closest friends. This rather low budget film I found tastefully funny, relevant to contemporary feelings of alienation and hostility to companies out to make money at the expense of exploiting employees, and full of well written script and interesting and original plot. I heartily recommend it to film fans of comedy and/or romantic comedy.

Everything you want it to be.

If you have ever worked in an office, or felt you were just a number in the grand scheme of any corporation, youll identify yourself with this film. Did you ever feel that if you ran the company it would make sense? This Independent film exposes what we all know. The company you work for must be run by morons. It is also a great love story without any gratuitous sex or violence. In fact, it doesnt have any. If your child is 14 years-old or older he or she can enjoy it with you. (Some occasional minor profanity) You might as well prepare them now for what they will only learn when he or she enters the work force. Just because someone is their boss does not make them any smarter than anyone else. In fact, it makes you wonder how they ever obtained that position. I thought it was funny movie with a good moral ending. It is not what do for a living; it is how much you enjoy doing it. Oh, by the way, he gets the girl in the end. That should go without saying.

Best make fun of old tech companies

Come on, it’s Office Space… can’t go wrong.

For anyone whos worked in an office ... and especially in tech.
