Office Space

Ive seen this movie so many times and watch it again and again. This is the epitome of office life.

Dont ever steal Miltons stapler

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

Office Space is one of those movies everyone should see before they die. That having been said there is a lot of language and adult themes. Definitely NOT kid friendly. There is a scene where the main character and his almost room mate watch a breast examination on TV. That having been said, this is a hilarious movie that I definitely recommend to everyone. It is generally about an office environment, the horrors of poor management and consultants, and work depression. This movie presents these themes in a humorous way, and as such I know it is used in some actual workplaces to prelude mental health and depression discussions. However for the rest of us non-office dwellers, it is still a great comedy. And it just gets better in HD. PS. I already found an easter egg for anyone interested. At the main menu go to SET UP and press select. Press select again on AUDIO, and then press the up directional arrow to reveal the We are not in Kansas anymore! flair. Press select again to play a mini game. :)

When you work in tech, you can relate to every bit of it at some point in your life! This is a classic.

This movie perfectly mirrors what it was like to work at a menial office job during the 90s, and it translates well to anyone whos worked a menial job today. Office Space is required viewing, in a similar vein to Clerks as something that anyone whos ever been in this position will totally understand this movie and get it whether or not they actually like the film. Its just pure catharsis - like the scene where they beat up the terrible old office printer that everyone always hates. Watch this classic today, especially if youve ever worked in an office or a menial job.

Best movie ever

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...

Ask 20- or 30-somethings about this hilarious comedy and you will be deluged by movie quotes, references, and the term a cubicle classic. Most people who have worked in an office will agree that individual scenes in this movie are among the most humorous exposés of cubicle life ever put on screen. While teens will certainly get the jokes, they probably wont identify with the situations as much as a young adult who has experienced office life. There is no doubt that creator/director Mike Judge has an uncanny eye for revealing the humorous realities and hypocrisies of office life. The banal and often inexplicable tasks that people do as well as the defeating weight of bureaucracy are mocked with dead-pan humor in a series of interviews between employees and the consultants. While some parents might find the end scenes problematic, the sketches that comprise the bulk of the movie are painfully funny observations on office life that will leave many saying too true, too true. Still, given the language and sex here, this movie is best for older teens and up.

This movie is the perfect de stress flick after a rough day! Timeless Office comedy
