Office Space

Loved it bought it!

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

Did not come in the yellow box. Instead it came in the more modern box with the image of Milton peeking from being the post-it man

Dont spend time reading all the critics. If youre here, its because you have some interest in this particular movie. So, heres the deal: Im from Mexico (and our humor its a little different from yours), Im not a fan of Beavis & Butthead neither King of the Hill, I dont know the Milton reference, Im not in love with Jennifer Aniston and I only watch the movie once so many years before, but I have to own this movie now. Why? Cause I still cant forget how great it is! pure and simple. Everything in there (story, characters, funny situations from beggining to end) is a hit. This is the kind of movie worth seeing 5 times a year (at least). Too bad the DVD has zero cool extras (an insult for the fans and the great movie that contains). Five stars for the movie, 3 for the DVD. Trust me: buy it, see it and enjoy it.

Everything you want it to be.

Mike Judge. Is hilarious

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.

Mike Judge once again does a fantastic job marrying the absurd with legitimate satire. Highly recommended for anybody with experience in the corporate world and even the slightest sense of humor.

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!

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.
