Mike Judge, please make more movies.
The satire in this movie is brilliant. There are a ton of people out there that experience the things parodied in this movie everyday. I for one, have fallen victim to the soulless corporations that bring in so called "efficiency" experts to "clean house"."Office Space" depicts characters so accurately that it's scary. It starts off with everyone trying to make it to work on time on a Monday; first getting stuck in rush hour, then dealing with several self-righteous bosses, then having a chipper red head remind them that it's Monday before they settle into their cubicles for the day. Their is almost a deja vu effect for the people that have experienced these things. Ah yes, it's a depressing feeling knowing your wasting your life away in a cubicle updating bank records for the year 2000 switch; which is also a hilarious scenario in the film, since nothing happened to computer systems when the year 2000 hit. The characters in this movie make it great. Milton mumbling "Have you seen my stapler?" to Bill Lumbergh's manipulative soft spoken a-hole-of-a-boss character.Another thing that makes this movie hilarious is all the rap music that's played. It's not softcore rap at all. It is very explicit hardcore gangster rap in many cases. One scene in the film where they are smashing a printer that they have always hated in the middle of a field with a rap song chanting "Die Mother Fu**a, Die Mother Fu**a, Die" is one of the funniest ideas I've ever seen a in a film.I think everyone would find this film funny, even if you don't work in an office setting, but if you do, you will find it even funnier.
