Office Space

I first watched this is my goverment class in high school and I didnt get the film, as well as not having any interest in watching it. Then after knowing more about Mike Judge, I watched it during the pandemic and it now made sense as I was viewing it as an adult in his thirties instead as a high school student who just turned 18. The time that I rewatched it happened was when a year later many people quit their jobs in the summer of 2021 after realizing that they dont visualize themselves continuing with their careers that they spent most of their adult lives in and replaced it with doing whatever brings them joy. Ive told people Ive had conversations with about the labor shortage that Its Office Space in real life. Plus Jennifer Aniston is fantastic in the film.

Office Space NEVER gets old! It almost seems as if it becomes more poignant over time. And this quote from the main character Peter Gibbons should be tweeted/shared always and forever: Michael, we dont have a lot of time on this earth! We werent meant to spend it this way. Human beings were not meant to sit in little cubicles staring at computer screens all day, filling out useless forms and listening to eight different bosses drone on about about mission statements. This movie has so many ah-ha moments its scary -- I mean for a comedy it ends up showing you so much about real humanity and the inner struggle of the common working man/woman (especially those who work in the office farms). I think we all should have our Peter Gibbons moment every now and then, that time when we say you know what? I dont want to do this anymore. or that moment when you realize your wasting your life and you take action -- just once, walk past the boss or come to work without the jacket and tie/skirt and heels. The other thing I appreciate about this movie and all movies of this era (90s and before) is theres no cell phones, no internet, no iPads, etc. Interesting to go back and see that we actually lived lives and communicated with people without the tech we cling to today.

I’ve gotten to the point where I want to make sure I have good physical copies of my favorite movies and shows so that when the streaming services play musical chairs, I can still watch my faves. This Blu-ray copy is great clarity.

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!

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.

Comedic gold

This movie should be a must see for anyone who has an office job. Mike Judge does not get nearly as much credit as he deserves. All the frustrations of being a rank and file level employee for any job can relate to the constant annoying reinforcement from management about anything and everything you can think of is in this movie in a humorous way.

i suspect everyone can relate to the dynamics in this movie. There were a few times i found myself saying Oh no he dinnint! LOL This movie is a keeper.

I missed seeing this one way back and rediscovered it on youtude when a work-internet sort of company was using some to the cast to recreate scenes of the movie for their Web-Collaboration Tele-Work product (extremely funny ads by the way).

Fall down, laugh out loud funny and too close to real life. From the daily commute to life in the cube farms prairie dogging, the worthless paper pushing boss, and the G.D. printer that shows a paper jam when there IS NO PAPER JAM!!!. Oh my DOG, this is funny and is worthy of its cult movie status, but is a stand alone masterpiece of hilarity! . Dietrich Bader is such an understated actor and is a hoot in this one. Even Jennifer Aniston is funny with her fight over her mandatory pieces of flair. Once seen, youll find yourself watching it many times, just because youll see little pieces of your won life being portrayed in it and wander how they managed to get a camera in your workspace and see what it is you go through every day. You will know Bill TPS Report cover sheet required...yeah...Lumberg, Milton Waddams ( I believe you have my red stapler...the statement that forced Swingline to make an actual fire engine red stapler...THE POWER OF A MOVIE!!! WOW!!!) Thank you Mike, King of the Hill/Bevis and Butthead, Judge for this great bit of fun! GET THIS MOVIE!
