Office Space

so i watched this movie, as i really liked the director and came across this one when researching other titles Mike Judge has directed. i knew nothing prior to watching it, apart from that Jennifer Aniston starred in it. i really only bought it so i could qualify for free shipping, as a space filler, so wasnt really too phased or worried about not liking it. after watching it, it completely exceeded my expectations. i thought it would be like the UK, US television series the office - not a show i really ever enjoyed. i just never saw the attraction to a television series based on the shenanigans that people get up to at a 9 to 5 desk job. but this movie...like it was cool man. it was. characters had personality and they had likability. and last but not least, without giving too much away, it also had an ending where the little guy wins and is able to overthrow a corporation run by tyrannical employers. so look, its a nice little mix and match of the office meets horrible bosses but better than both of them. it has the humour that the office lacked, without the tomfoolery of horrible bosses. not a laugh every minute comedy, but id 100% recommend it to anyone looking for an easy watch that doesnt fail to entertain.

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

It is becoming a cult-classic film with memorable lines that I hear myself quoting quite a lot. Everyone could use a little more flair.. ;). And who doesnt need a red Swingline stapler?! Purchased it so I can watch it whenever. I definitely give it Two Thumbs Up!

Odd mixture of a movie that isnt necessary great but has so many memorable scenes. Was well worth the money. If you work in an office please see.

This movie is THE movie to watch for anybody who ever gets frustrated at work. At stupid bosses or needless paperwork or silly policies or stupid fax machines that break down all the time. You dont even have to work in a cubicle to enjoy the humor. You will laugh your head off anyway. This movie has become a cult classic. I cant beleive how many people at my job will quote scenes from the movie. I first saw Office Space on a pay channel a few years ago and I kept thinking about different parts of the movie long after I had seen it. Then recently I realized that I needed to buy it and add it to my collection because it is the kind of movie to watch over and over again. And if you have a particularly bad day at work, its fun to put in the DVD and play the ending credits that features a hip-hop version of Take this job and shove it. Then you can dance around the living room and I guarantee your bad work day will fade to just a distant memory.

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

This movie reminds me why Id never want a desk job. I had to watch it a couple of times before I got the full gist of it, but every time, I understood it more and more. Unless youre self-employed and work at home, you cant help but draw your own similarities to the Office Space work environment and your own. Ive worked with a Lumberg, a Joanna, and a Michael... and a guy who didnt have an Arabic name, but he wanted to beat up every piece of office machinery which didnt work right. We even had a Milton-like guy once... he ended up going berserk and being escorted out by the police, but thats another story. All in all, I highly recommend this movie to everyone who has a job and knows what its like to suffer from the aggravation of office politics. This movie delivers a figurative eye-gouging to all the politics and backstabbing that goes on every day in Americas corporate workplaces. It shows one of the things that can happen when big corporate CEOs think theyre making some really smart move, and end up shooting themselves in the foot instead. WORDS OF WARNING: 1) if youre a bureaucratic jerk boss like Lumberg, DO NOT watch this movie because you wont find it funny... 2) never, ever do anything to make a Milton angry, because you never know what theyll do.

Seen it more than once I love it

People in my office love this movie and Im the only one that hasnt seen it, so I wanted to watch it. Maybe they built it up too much and I was expecting more, but I felt underwhelmed. It was okay for $3.99. I wouldnt watch it again. But glad I saw it.

This is a cult classic with a young Jennifer Aniston.
