Product Description
This geeky 1999 office comedy starring Ron Livingston as a corporate Everyman instantly gained cult status for its unabashed caricatures of office personalities, and its theme of corporate sabotage. Peter Gibbons (Livingston) is a typical middle manager living a mundane life amid a gray maze of cubicles. Everything in his life reeks of mediocrity, from the mid-size car he drives to the chain restaurant, Chotchky's (read: TGI Friday's), where he eats lunch every day. Even his apartment, a cookie-cutter duplex with walls so thin that he can chat with his next-door neighborhood through the plaster, is totally lacking in personality. The company where he works is peppered with ambitionless drones who blindly comply with the condescending requests made of them by their Porsche-driving CEO (Gary Cole). Then one day, Gibbons snaps. As a team of experts is brought in to enact large-scale layoffs, Gibbons simply stops trying and adopts an attitude of total disinterest. That is, he's only interested in dating the blond waitress (Jennifer Anniston) at the local restaurant, and putting in place a devilish scheme for some corporate payback. OFFICE SPACE's writer-director Mike Judge (BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD), scares up some A-list laughs with this film, while also making an excellent parody of corporate culture. Released just as the dot-com boom began to go bust, with massive trends in corporate downsizing on the horizon, it could not have been better timed. Thus, while viewers will delight in the absurdity of the ultimate office loser Milton (Stephen Root), they will also identify with some frighteningly realistic aspects of the film.

 Ron Livingston looks like a toddler in play shorts. July 22, 2010
Cleo (USA)
My favorite character is Dietrich Bader, the next door neighbor. This is a perfect movie, a classic rewatchable good time along the lines of The Ref and Princess Bride and Goonies. This is the movie that I recommend without qualification to foreign students of English. This is also the best role of Jennifer Aniston's career.
 Very Funny July 20, 2010
Eric Steinert (Belmont, MA United States)
This is is funny movie, but doesn't rise to the classic league of movies...the characters are extreme stereotypes of your typical cubical dwellers so common, esp. when the film was made. The movie's main character has to work with this pathetic cast of fellow office dweebs, and the end is a revenge fantasy...
Not sure why the slow-mo parts are in the film at all. Add nothing imho.
No office experience necessary! July 9, 2010
Condor08 (Brawley, CA, USA)
I thought this movie was hilarious even before I started working in an office. In a twist of fate, I ended up working for a slightly less competent version of a Lumbergh, and now it's even MORE hilarious! I don't know what's worse, the boss giving you the same instructions 3 times (including 2 written forms) or the copy machine breaking down because it doesn't like yellow paper. Piece of trash. No way you cant relate to at least one thing in this movie! It is pure comedy AWESOMENESS!
 Why do people think this is a funny movie? June 24, 2010

I do not for the life of me understand all the hype surrounding this movie. Why does everyone love "Office Space" so much? There were a few times when I chuckled here and there, but overall this movie just is NOT funny. I do not recommend it.
Buy it May 26, 2010
