Office Space

This movie should be a must see for anyone who has an office job. Mike Judge does not get nearly as much credit as he deserves. All the frustrations of being a rank and file level employee for any job can relate to the constant annoying reinforcement from management about anything and everything you can think of is in this movie in a humorous way.

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...

This is a classic! When I finish filing my TPS reports, I will write a longer review. Its a great story with charming actors who do a wonderful job. I watch this every few years and I love it every time!

We had this film on VHS, which we retired when DVDs became popular. But it is difficult to find older films sometimes on DVD. Office Space is a snarky, funny comedy about the woes of cubicle life in soulless offices. It still holds up, even after all these years.

I think everybody who’s ever worked in an office can relate to this movie. You watch it and immediately start seeing the similarities between this movie and your work life. I’ve probably watched it at least 20 times over the years. Now I’ll have to watch it again!

If you have ever worked in corporate cube-farm America, especially in Information Technology; you owe it to yourself to see this movie. Scott Adams / Dilbert kneel down and worship at the alter of Mike Judge... Thats just how accurate this movie is - certainly for 1990s-mid-2000s IT juxtaposition. Truly a masterpiece that, if given the thought is just as introspective and revealing of societal flaws as it is overtly hilarious. That being said, if youve NEVER worked in corporate cube-farm America (too young; always been an independent, or family owned small-to-mid sized business, etc.) - dont bother. Youll have a puzzled or bored look on your face more than a smile/laugh. Dont spend your $ on something you wont get or enjoy. Unless you want to know how the other 3/4s lives. ;-)

This is a cult classic with a young Jennifer Aniston.

How much we like a movie often depends on how closely we can relate it to our own lives or how far it allows us to escape from our own lives. Office Space is that rare movie that meets both these needs. Everyone who has worked in an office will relate to someone in the movie. This brilliantly low-key and low-budget film manages to mock life as a corporation myrmidon in America in just about every possible way. Have you been downsized? Youll love Office Space for its brilliant take on consultants. Have you lived in Dallas, Texas, the capital city of Generica? Youll love Office Space for its acerbic portrayal of life as an apartment rat. Have you been the pawn of intraoffice political power struggles? Youll love Office Space for the character Milton played by Stephen Root. The only people who wont love Office Space are those with IQs in the sub-100 range and corporate vice presidents. Sorry Lundbergh but I accidentally wiped my butt with the TPS reports.

Delivered promptly; very good condition. Recommend

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.
