Great Movie, Minimum of "Flair"
Just finished watching the DVD and must say I am disappointed. Not with the movie, but with the "flair".This is one of my all time favorite movies, a great comedy that flew under the radar when it was in theatres. It captures and sends up the typical office environment perfectly. Peter (Ron Livingston) is my hero and I have since modeled my life after his. The characters of Milton (the always great Stephen Root) and Lundberg (Gary Cole) are classics.Regardless, the "flair" (i.e., extras) accompanying the movie are a disappointment. If any comedy cries out for a commentary track, its this one. Instead, we get a short "behind the scenes" movie (which was entertaining) and a few deleted scenes. I'm reminded of the scene in the movie where Jennifer Aniston's character is chastised by her boss (who I never realized before was actually played by Mike Judge) for only wearing the minimum of "flair" (i.e., buttons on her waitress uniform). This DVD contains just such a minimum of flair. It's not worth the extra money if you already have the older version. But like I said, its a great movie, buy this version if you don't have one.
