One of my favourites. Not a laugh-a-minute comedy, as such - rather a barbed take on modern office-life and its associated pointless activities.

One of my favourites. Not a laugh-a-minute comedy, as such - rather a barbed take on modern office-life and its associated pointless activities.
Alas, plenty of folks confuse Office Space with 'The Office' - a fatal error !
Best bit - Peter's dream involving Joanna and Lumbergh - a real gem !
So - damn those TPS reports and damn those Bobs (who, in real life, should be locked away until they can do something that's actually useful).
Miss this movie at your peril !

Great comedies come from life and this shows full well how true that is.

One of a kind movie! The characterizations, the dialog, the music, the flow couldn't have been better... If you haven't seen this and ever worked in a office setting, it's a must see.

An absolutely classic movie and one of the best modern comedies of the current day. The movie may not be one that you'll love on first viewing, but you'll fall more and more in love with it after each successive viewing. I mean, the amount of wonderful quotable lines in just mind-boggling.

I can't say enough good things about this movie. One of the best written scripts of all time! It just does a fantastic job of summing up office life. Jennifer Aniston and Ron Livingston are both spectacular. Must-see comedy for anyone that works in or has ever worked in a cubicle environment.

This is by far my favorite movie. Peter Gibbens (Ron Livingston) gets zapped out by his psychiatrist because he wants to be able to zone out for awhile. The psychiatrist dies while Peter is zapped out, so as a result Peter never comes out of his "funk".

Peter stops doing all of his work at Initech, however he gets a promotion because of his interview with "the Bob's" whereas his best friends at work, Samir and Michael Bolton, both are going to get laid off even though they work much harder than Peter.

This movie has many great quotes, notably "PC Load letter, what the **** does that mean". If you have not seen this movie, make sure to rent it or buy it for cheap.

A Must-see Movie!

If you haven't seen this one yet, then you are missing out. This is definately a classic! It is hilarious and a movie that can really relate to a lot of different people. We have all been there and we feel for the characters. Alongside the relating, this film is funny. It has charm and is one of those comedies with a purpose! I give this a 5/5!

I had a boss just like this jerk...constantly sidling around the office in his too-tight polyester slacks, and wondering if I 'Had a minute?' Often it was just to 'Touch base' with me...and make certain that we were 'On the same page'. So to see it happen to someone else called him on his game, was hilarious. Great movie, with a gazillion one-liners that will stick with you.

  Observations on the modern office space are dead-on, and I dare you not to laugh out loud at a few of the sophomoric jokes!

  Bristling with shrewd observation, inspired humor and all-around smarts, Office Space is a winner about a guy who's beginning to feel like a loser. [19 Feb 1999]

  Imagine a live-action version of the "Dilbert" comic strip with a touch of Hal Hartley's deadpan absurdism, and you're ready for the frequently uproarious "Office Space."

  Mike Judge’s live-action directorial debut not only whittles the high-strung festering soul of ‘90s Orthodox Corporationism down to the quick and quintessential but wraps its veins around his fingers and flosses our teeth.

  Its characters and its nowheresville setting are uncannily realized... It's not a cartoon in any sense, but an honest-to-God movie with some fine, understated acting and a human heart.

  Office Space's pleasures don't really depend on plot. It's pretty much what a Dilbert feature should look like.

  Office Space is so enjoyable that you wish it were even better...Once the scheme to bilk Initech is set in motion, the off-kilter humor flattens into a take-this-job-and-shove-it thing, and the ending seems pooped-out.

  The storyline is something of a hodge-podge but what the narrative lacks in honing and straight-ahead storytelling it more than makes up for with well-aimed barbs and acutely focused observations...this funny, funny satire gets us where we live.

  Jennifer Aniston...doesn't have much screen time, but in playing this slightly insecure, affable young woman, she does her best film acting to date.

  In a surprise move, the creator of "Beavis and Butt-Head" has made a laid-back, even subtle comedy that generally favors mischievous ironies over outlandish jokes.
