Office Space

Still the gold standard for office satire. Some things really never change.

I watched this movie in high school and thought it was pretty funny. Then I graduated college and started working that cube life. Watched this movie again and got a whole brand new perception on it. Not only hysterically funny, this movie is the most relatable movie I have ever seen. A+ script and A+ acting. Not to mention it has Jenny Aniston in her prime so it is worth watching just for that. I wont say it made me re-evaluate my life, buuuut every time I hear damn it feels good to be a gangsta I get the urge to smash the printer at my office.

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.

Such a classic!!

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!

Honestly I could watch this a million times and never get tired of it. Since it never appears on the two streaming services I have, I decided to get the DVD. I thought about buying the Prime Video, but at the time I purchased this, it was cheaper to buy the DVD than to even rent for 24 hours the Prime version.

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.

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!

If they move my desk one more time, then Im quitting.

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.
