Office Space

Pros: Idea, Ron Livingston, Gary Cole, John C McGinley
Cons: Rap music soundtrack, Story peters out, Lots of profanity

Office Space (1999)   "I told those fudge packers I liked Michael Bolton's music." Michael Bolton   I have been meaning to watch Office Space for quite a few years but somehow it evaded me, and ...

Pros: A funny work at life in the workplace
Cons: The Milton character looked more brain damaged than emotionally damaged

If you recall the “You the Monster” ad from Monster.com, you might believe that a dream job is out there for you, if you try hard enough to find it. The workers in “Office Space” know the reality – the vast majority of us never get it. We punch a clock,...

Pros: Characters, dialogue, simplicity, character development, comedy, stuff I can relate to
Cons: Nothing. Actually, where's the sequel?

I still remember it. We went to go see this movie in the theater in 1999, expecting nothing. We'd been warned not to go. But instead, Office Space was an unbelievably good movie, with a combination of witty humor and facets that just hit home. ...

Pros: hilarious absurdity of corporate America
Cons: crudeness and profanity

I’ve generally had pretty good luck with cult classics. I love The Princess Bride, A Christmas Story and Monty Python and the Holy Grail, to name a few, so when I had the opportunity to watch Office Space, which I’ve ...

Pros: excellent satire, with crisp dialogue and on-the-money performances
Cons: could have been PG-13 but for a cutaway sex scene and a lot of F-bombs

Office Space is a hilarious satire on the state of the workplace in modern American life - the kind of comedy that ought to be tossed into a time capsule for future historians still unborn. A thousand years from now, it will be the scriptures of an ...

Pros: A hilarious look at office work; great ensemble
Cons: Unfortunately, the events portrayed in this movie is all-too true

Peter Gibbons: "That virus you're always talking about, right? The one that could, uh, rip off the company for a bunch of money." Michael Bolton: "Yeah, what about it?" Peter Gibbons: "Well, how does it work?" Michael ...

Pros: Got sense of humor about work, boss and co-workers
Cons: You may not want to watch if you are laid off.....

I was laid off two times in 2001. When this movie came out on 1999, the layoffs were not as many as now. As a matter of fact, at that time, it was at a peak of hiring because of Y2K bugs. I have watched this movie before and after my lay offs. I...

Pros: Hilarious satire on working in the office environment of the early 21st century.
Cons: Some of the jokes may be a little strong for some people.

The premise of Mike Judge's OFFICE SPACE is very simple: working in an office in a business today can drive you insane. And because that insanity is possible, the absurdity of life in some office environments today can therefore be extremely...

Pros: absolutely hilarious!!!!
Cons: none!

Office Space is about a very normal, decent guy named Peter. He has a girl friend and hates his job. Peter works for a company called Initech. What he does there is update software for the Y2K thing - and he hates it. He hates having to go to work...

Pros: Very funny, fast-paced
Cons: Somewhat short

If you've ever had a job that made you feel "fed up" at the end of the day, this is the movie for you! If you've ever been put down by "the man", this is definitely the movie to see!

Office Space is a comedy written and...

Pros: First half of the movie is good satire.
Cons: Second half succumbs to plot cliches.

Office Space wants to be an exercise in cynical satire and on that count it succeeds. The film showcases the frustrations that come with many office temp jobs by sticking in the proverbial knife and twisting it. We see how empty and meaningless the lives ...

Pros: An Excellent Anti-Corporate Film from Mike Judge.
Cons: Some Might Not Get The Satirical Tone of the Film.

With the post-9/11 economy on the brink of collapse with falling corporations such as Enron and most recently, WorldCom along with corporate takeovers looming in, there have been two movies in the late 1990s that has expressed the soulless...

Pros: Some very funny scenes and Gary Cole is great
Cons: Drags at times and TPS Reports stink

Office Space was a surprising funny film. I didn't see it when it first came out in the theater and I wish I had. I initially watch it based on a friend’s recommendation. I enjoyed it immensely so I decided to purchase the DVD. The first thing I ...

Pros: Characters; dialogue; subtle realism.
Cons: None that I can think of.

Having never worked in a cubicle, I can't quite say I really understand Office Space. Instead, at my job, I stand around all day and make people burgers... or I give them their burgers. Or I make their fries. Either way, we don't employee ...

Pros: Hilarious dialogue; easy to relate to
Cons: Lags a bit toward the end

Office Space is one of those movies that flops in theaters but eventually becomes a cult classic that people can watch over and over and quote constantly. This tale of a man's rebellion against office life is humorously exaggerated but true to life ...
