Office Space

This film is great. If you work in an office, you can ralate to this movie. If you dont work in an office, you will enjoy the movie just as much. Non-stop laughs! BUY!

This is one of my favourite movies of all time. The jokes really ring true about office life (just like BBC's 'The Office') and I find myself quoting from this movie all the time. You can relate to the characters which makes the plot so enjoyable! Diedrech Bader, as scene-stealing neighbour Lawrence, is hilarious, as is the chameleon-like Stephen Root as Milton. And, lest we forget, Jennifer Aniston puts in an appearance as love-interest Joanna. This movie is just pure joy for anyone who has endured office life and Mike Judge really nails it, in the funniest way ever. 'Mmm-kay.'

This is a classic film. It has spawned many catch phrases and has become a true cult movie. Moreover, because it is too true to life of the typical office and corporate world many people have become slave to.

Fed up with his mundane office job Peter Gibbons decides to neglect his job, finally ask out the waitress he has fancied for years and hatch an ill-conceived get rich quick scheme. Of course it doesn't exactly go according to plan....

Strangely overlooked upon its release word of mouth and the subsequent DVD release have seen Office Space become a cult comedy classic. Anyone that has gone through the day to day monotony of working life will quickly sympathise with Gibbons, played in brilliant understated fashion by Ron Livingston. The supporting cast from his irritating boss to laid back next door neighbour to stapler obsessed work colleague are all equally as good making for one of the funniest movies of the 90's.

Office Space is a light-hearted comedy based, apparently, on the Milton series of cartoons. Milton himself is pleasingly funny caricature, bullied and misunderstood, but not enough as a character to carry any whole film. The Bobs create some of the real laugh-out-loud moments in the early scenes with excruciatingly perceptive questioning, but their reign of incisive terror is not capitalized on meaningfully. Classified at an amazing 15 (UK) this could easily have pleased a wider audience at 12 (maybe even PG), solely on a lower profanity-count. Possibly a little too long (even at 85 mins), this would have been punchier if each scene launched dramatically to the next, but there is a lot of drift posing as (presumably weighty) contemplation. Jennifer Aniston is largely superfluous and critically unused as an actor, but meets her brief. Gary Cole's character is necessary and hits the spot, but whether Cole himself (normally an effortless character-maker) is the right person to read the lines is a valid question.
Promoted ambitiously as "The Office" before there was "The Office", this film fails comfortably to meet such a bench-mark. However, if you acquire this for around a buck, the rate of good-laughs to the penny is satisfyingly high. A well-made bargain.

the film has pointless end and no drection it has a good idea but nothing more

It's an inspiration. I watched this whilst I was working in the office and I just made me change the way I worked!

The script is fantastic, Mike Judge is clearly a very talented individual.

Recently I leant this to a friend who found out he is being made redundant from a big (unamed) bank, so is losing his job. He watched this and it cheered him up.

The smashing of a certain piece of office equipment to a fantastic hip-hop soundtrack is one of my favourite ever movie moments.

100% genius little comedy from Mike Judge and one that's scarily on the ball about the borderline insanity that we office workers live with on a daily basis.

Totally quotable from start to finish, perfectly cast (the great Ron Livingston. Jennifer Aniston, and Gary Cole) this is a perfect little comedy that will never leave my collection!

If you work in an office, you have to see this flick!

This is probably the funniest movie I've seen and contains so many great lines.

I went through a phase of watching this every Sunday evening and it never failed to cheer me up before another week in the office!

5 stars all the way!

One of my favourite films, funny as hell, and if you're stuck in a dead-end office job surrounded by many other people miserable like you, then you should very much relate-enjoy!
