Office Space

1999s “Office Space” runs the absurdity of white collar employment straight up the corporate flagpole. Few satires are as timeless and widely relatable as this ode to the dehumanized workforce warrior, as its magically sketched characters and ingenious dialogue endure as reference points in water cooler conversations across the land. Inside the soul-destroying Initech Corp., wage victims grind away. Peter Gibbons (Ron Livingston) hates his job as much as he fears losing it, until a meeting with an “occupational hypnotherapist” frees his mind: Peter decides hes no longer going to work all that much. Yet after repeatedly coming in late or not showing up at all, two workforce consultants peg Peter as a “straight shooter” who “has upper management written all over him.” Since the films release, pre-pandemic office cubicle environments had largely given way to open-space layouts. But while the furniture has been rearranged, the truisms of “Office Space” remain fully in play. A legendary comedy movie by any definition. - (Was this review of use to you?

Best movie ever

Funny from beginning til the end. Cant go wrong with this movie as long as you plan on laughing your butt off and youll never view a Swingline stapler the same!

Maybe its because I hate my job, but I think this is the most hysterical movie I have ever seen. I watch it when Ive had a bad day at the office and it cheers me up every time! Maybe because most companies are alike no matter what their business, I would really recommend this to anyone who can relate at all to work related stress, not just to people who work in cubicles in an office. After all, the rest of the workforce have jerks for bosses, companies that cant get their policies and procedures down, dont know how to communicate and think the morale in their staff is great when its really in the toilet! Additionally, I would recommend this to anyone who just likes a good comedy. I use clips from this movie in training courses I provide at work, about what NOT to do to your employees and I recommend this movie to all my friends and co-workers as therapy for when they are taking an Im sick of my job day off. I also love that now that its older the price is right and you can give it as a gift to work related friends. If you havent seen it, skip renting and just buy it, you will not be dissappointed.

Comedic gold

This is a very funny movie. Especially if you’ve ever worked in an office environment. You will spend the entire movie laughing and relating to the movie.

Still the gold standard for office satire. Some things really never change.

I saw portions of this movie while on a road trip through various cities several years ago and had always wanted to see the full version. I wanted to get to a town or city where I could watch the whole movie but it never worked out. In fact, most of the time I would see almost the same section and could never get to the ending because of time constraints or whatever. I finally saw a chance of seeing the whhole movie by going through Amazon and have really enjoyed the movie. I have watched Office Space a few times now and cant get over the number of personalities in the movie that mimic a few people I have worked with over the years. Sometimes I watch the movie before I go into work and then start giggling to myself when one of my coworkers acts like one of the characters in the movie. The movie has proved to be a great get away and I would recommend this movie to anyone who needs a laugh.

I watched this movie in high school and thought it was pretty funny. Then I graduated college and started working that cube life. Watched this movie again and got a whole brand new perception on it. Not only hysterically funny, this movie is the most relatable movie I have ever seen. A+ script and A+ acting. Not to mention it has Jenny Aniston in her prime so it is worth watching just for that. I wont say it made me re-evaluate my life, buuuut every time I hear damn it feels good to be a gangsta I get the urge to smash the printer at my office.

Mike Judge. Is hilarious
