Ever had worries about layoffs? Ever had the urge to demolish a temperamental printer or fax machine? Ever had to endure a smarmy, condescending boss? Then Office Space should hit pretty close to home for you. Peter (Ron Livingston) spends the day doing stupefyingly dull computer work in a cubicle. He goes home to an apartment sparsely furnished by IKEA and Target, then starts for a maddening commute to work again in the morning. His coworkers in the cube farm are an annoying lot, his boss is a snide, patronizing jerk, and his days are consumed with tedium. In desperation, he turns to career hypnotherapy, but when his hypno-induced relaxation takes hold, there's no shutting it off. Layoffs are in the air at his corporation, and with two coworkers (both of whom are slated for the chute) he devises a scheme to skim funds from company accounts. The scheme soon snowballs, however, throwing the three into a panic until the unexpected happens and saves the day. Director Mike Judge has come up with a spot-on look at work in corporate America circa 1999. With well-drawn characters and situations instantly familiar to the white-collar milieu, he captures the joylessness of many a cube denizen's work life to a T. Jennifer Aniston plays Peter's love interest, a waitress at Chotchkie's, a generic beer-and-burger joint à la Chili's, and Diedrich Bader (The Drew Carey Show) has a minor but hilarious turn as Peter's mustached, long-haired, drywall-installin' neighbor. --Jerry Renshaw Average Rating:
 Rating:  - "We're not in Kansas anymore..."Movie: 5 stars. Extras: 3 stars. Last week I was reminiscing with an engineer friend about seeing "Office Space" during its 1999 theatrical run. He remembers me laughing constantly throughout the movie, and that flashback to a simpler time in my IT career caused me to finally get this DVD just so I could see it again and check out the extras. Of course, "Office Space" is still awesome, but unfortunately the included "flair" is little more than the bare minimum. "Office ...

It is tasteful and approrpriate for most ages however you really need to be an office worker (IT position helps great) to truly appreciate the movie. That being said, anyone can potentially find it funny but as a resident IT guy in a cubicle I love this movie! Rating:  - Flair edition.Office Space is a funny and offbeat film but I wasn't left wanting more from this cult classic. Ron Livingston and Jennifer Aniston give honest and sarcastic performances and Gary Cole, jeez that guy always plays a jerk! The ending was not that great so I can't rave about this 90 minute flick, this is a mixed bag for me, decide for yourself. Rating: - Office SpaceHow DO YOU NOT OWN THIS MOVIE! Definately one of the best movies ever made. Hillarious. Has anyone seen my stapler, uh I have not recieved my paycheck. Great movie, makes you realize the comedy that we all have in our day to day jobs, and lives. Rating: - "What Am I Going To Do With 40 Subscriptions To 'Vibe'"?"Office Space" is a great film from the brilliant mind of Mike Judge. Ron Livingston plays corporate drone Peter Gibbons who has a totally unhappy and stressed life. Thanks to the only partially intentional assistance from a therapist using hypnosis in the single funniest scene in the film, Peter relaxes and reaps the rewards of sloth. The films makes a legitimate point about promotion up the corporate ladder in the most humorous manner possible. The characters in the film are all caricatures ... Read More |
