Office Space

After having rented nearly all the videos at our local mom & pop video rental store, and after this one came off the new release (more expensive) shelves, we gave it a try. (Ill try any movie for $1.)... Im proud to say that after renting it in excess of five times, we finally broke down and bought it. A better purchase I could not have made! This movie is clever, hilarious, and populated with some great characters. Also, its infinitely quotable, and nearly every scene rings true. Thank goodness Mike Judge departed from Beavis & Butthead to make this gem of a cinematic masterpiece. (Okay, you might not file it next to The Godfather, but you would definitely put it somewhere between the Marx Brothers and Wes Anderson/Owen Wilsons Bottle Rocket) Make that comedic masterpiece. For my money, it doesnt get much better than when John C. McGinley gives his monologue about Michael Bolton, or when Diedrich Bader comes over as the friendly neighbor, or when Mike Judge cameos and talks about flair, or when vengeance is taken on a certain office appliance... you get the idea. (As I was making that list, about eight other favorite scenes popped into my head). If you havent seen it, give it a try. If you have seen it and rented it more than twice (or recommended it to all your friends) then do yourself a favor and get it on DVD before its no longer being sold. Movies this classic dont come along very often...

The movie is somewhat dated but is entertaining and has a good storyline that keeps the movie on track. I especially like the assortment of characters in the movie, because without their uniqueness the movie would not be nearly as good.

A classic! If youve ever worked in corporate America and/or in a cube farm, with 5 levels of managers above you about whom you honestly have no idea what they do all day, then youll find yourself in one of these cubes and characters. So if you like Dilbert, youll love this movie. Bonus: youll finally get all the TPS Report jokes!

Maybe its because I hate my job, but I think this is the most hysterical movie I have ever seen. I watch it when Ive had a bad day at the office and it cheers me up every time! Maybe because most companies are alike no matter what their business, I would really recommend this to anyone who can relate at all to work related stress, not just to people who work in cubicles in an office. After all, the rest of the workforce have jerks for bosses, companies that cant get their policies and procedures down, dont know how to communicate and think the morale in their staff is great when its really in the toilet! Additionally, I would recommend this to anyone who just likes a good comedy. I use clips from this movie in training courses I provide at work, about what NOT to do to your employees and I recommend this movie to all my friends and co-workers as therapy for when they are taking an Im sick of my job day off. I also love that now that its older the price is right and you can give it as a gift to work related friends. If you havent seen it, skip renting and just buy it, you will not be dissappointed.

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

This has to be one of my favorite movies of all time. I think anyone who has ever worked in an office will identify with all of the characters. There are days when I feel that the lead character played by Ron Livingston was based on my life. I must be having a case of the Mondays I used to work with a guy who insisted on only using his personal antique stapler. If anyone ever finds a hypnotist that can zap me into not knowing I went to work - please find me. Until then, I will continue to arrive late to work, enter through the back door, zone out for an hour pretending to work, and get an actual fifteen minutes of work done every day. This movie gets funnier every time. Everyone who commutes to work, especially in California, will also identify with the traffic scenes. After seein the movie, I can now at least smile a little thinking about how funny everyday, mundane life can really be.

This is the most funny, quirky, intricate Office Comedy you will ever find. And its only 89 minutes. Every character is drop to the ground hilarious. The story is actually believable. Every office employee will scratch their head and say Yeah...if I could do that Id be outta here tomorrow! So...yeeeeeeeeahh get this movie!

I saw portions of this movie while on a road trip through various cities several years ago and had always wanted to see the full version. I wanted to get to a town or city where I could watch the whole movie but it never worked out. In fact, most of the time I would see almost the same section and could never get to the ending because of time constraints or whatever. I finally saw a chance of seeing the whhole movie by going through Amazon and have really enjoyed the movie. I have watched Office Space a few times now and cant get over the number of personalities in the movie that mimic a few people I have worked with over the years. Sometimes I watch the movie before I go into work and then start giggling to myself when one of my coworkers acts like one of the characters in the movie. The movie has proved to be a great get away and I would recommend this movie to anyone who needs a laugh.

Seen it more than once I love it

This movie is the perfect de stress flick after a rough day! Timeless Office comedy
