Office Space

I wish more movies were made like this.. a classic. Very funny. Highly recommended

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.

Great satire on the cubicle life, and really a kind of modern take on Modern Times. I cant help but think that the traffic jam at the beginning, and the close up of the watch at the start of Peters work day were homages to Charlie Chaplins opening scenes in Modern Times. Even if they werent, this movie really captures the helplessness of this kind of work and the emptiness of the kind of fake business culture that so many companies try to create. Gary Cole is spot on as the passive aggressive manager, and the two consultants are hilarious. My only complaint is Mike Judges occasional leap into his Beavis and Butthead period when corn-hole jokes and other kind of teenage potty humor ruled the day. Fortunately, most of the jokes in this movie are clever, and its depiction of modern alienation holds up after 16 years.

The first time I watched this, I was 18. It was funny then, even before it started resembling my real adult life. I have referenced this movie dozens of times since then. Should be part of high school curriculum, as hilariously accurate it is.

Good movie and case isn’t broke the issue is it shows up as delivered because it is but I think the post office sits on it or them for a week or so Good to go.May God Bless You.

This movie is quirky but really fun. Watched this years ago with my kids and it is funny.

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...

AMAZON RUINS EVERY MOVIE YOU PURCHASE BY ADDING FREETV ADS TO THE MOVIE. I REGRET PURCHASING THE MOVIE, BECAUSE I WANT TO STREAM MY VIDEOS WITHOUT WATCHING ADS AND COMMERCIALS. NEVER BUY MOVIES FROM AMAZON UNLESS YOU WANT TO WATCH COMMERCIALS BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER MOVIES THAT I PURCHASED. REFUND!

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.

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.
