Office Space

Such a classic!!

This was an unexpected hit in my household! Disclaimer: This movie is NOT for everyone. There is a certain level of crude humor, sarcasm, negativity, and irreverence about the whole thing, but if you can relate to the subject matter, that is precisely what makes it a GEM. Having worked for the real-life equivalent of this movies evil corporate conglomerate, I was able to relate to this movie in a particularly strong way, which made it a much-needed outlet for me. From the humorous depictions of corporate motivation attempts, to the evil boss who tortures the main characters (even in their dreams), to the sudden lay-offs that send them over the edge, this movie is tailor-made for the white collar working stiffs who live it every day (especially anyone in a technical/computer/programming field). If you have experienced the forest of gray cubicle walls, the droning, boring corporate meetings, the logic-lacking company policies, the inhuman treatment from management, you will LOVE this movie. It will serve as an anchor for you to see that you arent the only one who sees the BS for what it is, and I must say it is a refreshing feeling! If you fit the profile, the smallest detail of this movie will cause you to burst into tear-producing laughter. If not, you might want to give it a try, but proceed with caution. :)

Honestly I could watch this a million times and never get tired of it. Since it never appears on the two streaming services I have, I decided to get the DVD. I thought about buying the Prime Video, but at the time I purchased this, it was cheaper to buy the DVD than to even rent for 24 hours the Prime version.

Its interesting that in the context of the great resignation, Office Space is suddenly becoming relevant again.

Have this as an inside joke present and she loved it!

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!

Really really funny movie

Office Space is one of the funniest movies Ive seen. It ranks as a classic in my book and we break it out after a good smoking session for many good laughs. The cast is fantastic and I really hope they never make a second Office Space because Im quite sure they could not make it as well as the first. If you dont agree that this is one of the funniest movies youve ever seen, then I am very sorry, but my opinion is that you will laugh hard and you will also rank this movie as one of the all time greats! Edit 14 January: I wanted to add that after you watch the movie, search for Real Michael Bolton Office Space and you should get a Funny or Die link thats really funny. I bought this movie with Amazon and the RMBOS video was already there after I played the movie, ready to play. Its good to have a laugh like that in todays day and age!

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. ;-)

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.
