Office Space

Genius. Over 20 years since its release, Office Space remains relevant in every aspect of working in an office and cubicles.

I just love this film and as I get older I like it more and more. Even though I havent worked in the USA for years and years, the years I have I can so relate to this film. When it first came out I loved it and now I use words like genius to describe it. Captures both the cooperate culture and chain restaurant industry so well its almost scary. The story follows a group of people working at the lower corporate level a tech firm in the 90s. I just so happened to work for tech firms in the 90s and although all of them werent like this, the majority were. But as long as you have worked at any business in the corporate office level you will get a kick out of this film. It covers all the normal office politics, annoying office mates, type A personalities, horrible upper management, worker bees and everyone else you will find in this environment. The main characters are a low lever programmer and his work mates. The main antagonist is of course the boss and his minions but its more a statement of a man exploring his place in life and where he really would like to be. And surprisingly his desire is not to be rich and powerful but just in a position to enjoy life at his own pace. There is also a peripheral character who works as a waitress at a chain restaurant similar to TGI Fridays or Applebees. Anyone who has ever worked in the restaurant industry will really appreciate this story line and the truths it reveals through her tormentuous struggle. Just brilliant! Also, I have to comment briefly on this version the Bluray, with Flair edition. Even a film of this calibre benefits from such a beautiful picture. They did a very nice transfer. I am not one of those people who like the commentary on most of these types of things but Mike Judge and the rest of the cast did a nice modern update for this edition and it was neither too long or self promoting. I really enjoyed it. And lastly, the deleted scenes were really funny! Great Friday night film. Get some good snacks, some beers and prepare to laugh and cringe!

If you have ever worked in an office, or felt you were just a number in the grand scheme of any corporation, youll identify yourself with this film. Did you ever feel that if you ran the company it would make sense? This Independent film exposes what we all know. The company you work for must be run by morons. It is also a great love story without any gratuitous sex or violence. In fact, it doesnt have any. If your child is 14 years-old or older he or she can enjoy it with you. (Some occasional minor profanity) You might as well prepare them now for what they will only learn when he or she enters the work force. Just because someone is their boss does not make them any smarter than anyone else. In fact, it makes you wonder how they ever obtained that position. I thought it was funny movie with a good moral ending. It is not what do for a living; it is how much you enjoy doing it. Oh, by the way, he gets the girl in the end. That should go without saying.

Cute office comedy.

A friend of mine was actually in this film as an extra. He had taken 3 weeks off from work and had gotten into about 5 scenes throughout the film. All of us (friends and coworkers) saw it together in the theater when it was released and we all had a great time. Since then this has really taken off and has become a cult classic!! Funny, FUNNY film. I dont know why (correction) Mike Judge never did another one... not necessarily a sequel, because more often than not they suck, but another comedy film in this same, unique and honestly funny style? So many people can relate to how the reality of this film mirrors real life. Then there is the sub-story (Milton) that parallels the main story which is much more surreal. Funny, and sadly often true. More than once I have found myself in traffic feeling like Im in the opening credits of this film, or wanted to smash a difficult piece of hardware. Many of you may know this already, but as a point of interest, Swingline didnt offer their staplers in red... until after this film was released. Neat, huh?

Never heard of this movie till 2003 working in a video/music store. Saw it and laughed like crazy. Perfect scenario of how people at the workplace can just get under your skin and all on your nerves.

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

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).

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.

Has a young Jennifer Anniston and all the actors are perfect for this classic comedy movie, Great soundtrack!
