 - 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 of idealized cubicle dwellers, and remind me of a cross between "Dilbert" and the cast of "The Office." The film is well acted, and you will see favorite actors from several favorite sitcoms: John C. McGinley from "Scrubs" is brilliant as Bob the consultant; Diedrich Bader from "The Drew Carey Show" is brilliant as a blue collar neighbor, and Jennifer Aniston shines as Joanna, a waitress with flair! The film deserves five stars save for one misstep in postproduction: the soundtrack. The soundtrack is filled with extremely violent rap music, which not only fails to enhance the film, it actually detracts markedly from it. If you are willing to face life in a cube farm, you need to face up to "Office Space," and check out the extras, too. The deleted scenes are, in several cases, absolute highlights: the scene where Peter confronts the receptionist is absolutely priceless, and justifies the cost of the film alone. Rating: - FULL OF FUNNY CHARACTERS, BUT.....................I'm sure if you work in an office this film may be a riot. While I thought it was funny and entertaining, there wasn't much going on in this film. The cast is very good with lots of quirky characters and it is certainly worth seeing, it just doesn't go anyhwere. You might want to check it out on cable before you buy it. This may grow on me with repeat viewings. Until it does, I rate it 3 1/2 stars. Rating: - You will have to watch it more than once and laugh more each timeI defiantly would say that this is a must have for your home collection. It is too hilarious to just rent and watch once. I am sure that many people can relate to the lack of enthusiasm about their job or the many office obstacles that may get in the way of them effectively doing their job. The movie starts off with Peter on his way to work. He is in slow moving traffic, which in turn causes him to be late. While he is in traffic the camera goes to the right of him and shows an elderly gentleman with a walker walking faster than the vehicles are moving. This is one of the many funny things that stand out. Make sure to keep an eye out for Milton. He plays sort of a hero to the main character Peter and the rest of his co-workers. Milton's incoherent mumbling about his red Swingline stapler, lack of receiving his paycheck, not receiving his piece of cake and the location of his desk show the inconsistent policies that Initech portray. Again I recommend this movie to everyone because it will keep you laughing the entire time.
