Office Space

How much we like a movie often depends on how closely we can relate it to our own lives or how far it allows us to escape from our own lives. Office Space is that rare movie that meets both these needs. Everyone who has worked in an office will relate to someone in the movie. This brilliantly low-key and low-budget film manages to mock life as a corporation myrmidon in America in just about every possible way. Have you been downsized? Youll love Office Space for its brilliant take on consultants. Have you lived in Dallas, Texas, the capital city of Generica? Youll love Office Space for its acerbic portrayal of life as an apartment rat. Have you been the pawn of intraoffice political power struggles? Youll love Office Space for the character Milton played by Stephen Root. The only people who wont love Office Space are those with IQs in the sub-100 range and corporate vice presidents. Sorry Lundbergh but I accidentally wiped my butt with the TPS reports.

My coworkers and I would reference this movie all the time. We swore our boss was a Lumberg. The movie still works even all these years later. It was fun to see throwback images of some of the characters. The thing I noticed most this time was all the gangsta rap that was used.

I’ve gotten to the point where I want to make sure I have good physical copies of my favorite movies and shows so that when the streaming services play musical chairs, I can still watch my faves. This Blu-ray copy is great clarity.

Hands down the greatest piece of satire of all time for the modern working class.

If you have ever worked in corporate cube-farm America, especially in Information Technology; you owe it to yourself to see this movie. Scott Adams / Dilbert kneel down and worship at the alter of Mike Judge... Thats just how accurate this movie is - certainly for 1990s-mid-2000s IT juxtaposition. Truly a masterpiece that, if given the thought is just as introspective and revealing of societal flaws as it is overtly hilarious. That being said, if youve NEVER worked in corporate cube-farm America (too young; always been an independent, or family owned small-to-mid sized business, etc.) - dont bother. Youll have a puzzled or bored look on your face more than a smile/laugh. Dont spend your $ on something you wont get or enjoy. Unless you want to know how the other 3/4s lives. ;-)

Ive seen this movie so many times and watch it again and again. This is the epitome of office life.

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...

I love this movie, very funny cult classic

This is a very funny movie. Especially if you’ve ever worked in an office environment. You will spend the entire movie laughing and relating to the movie.

Office Space is one of the funniest movies Ive seen. It ranks as a classic in my book and we break it out after a good smoking session for many good laughs. The cast is fantastic and I really hope they never make a second Office Space because Im quite sure they could not make it as well as the first. If you dont agree that this is one of the funniest movies youve ever seen, then I am very sorry, but my opinion is that you will laugh hard and you will also rank this movie as one of the all time greats! Edit 14 January: I wanted to add that after you watch the movie, search for Real Michael Bolton Office Space and you should get a Funny or Die link thats really funny. I bought this movie with Amazon and the RMBOS video was already there after I played the movie, ready to play. Its good to have a laugh like that in todays day and age!
