Rating: 4.0
It's just one of those days...
Every felt shafted once promotions came around? How about angst at the annual cost-cutting measures? Or perhaps you were just dead-straight ticked off at no more chocolate biscuits in the cookie tin at morning tea? Chances are you're not alone, and in "Office Space" you can do something about it too.The directorial debut of "Beavis & Butthead" creator Mike Judge, based on his shorts "Milton", this is a wickedly biting satire that was criminally overlooked in 1999. He gets star turns by Stephen Root (Newsradio) at Milton in the flesh, Gary Cole (A Perfect Plan) as the annoying as hell manager of 8, and Dietrich Bader (The Drew Carey Show) as a redneck neighbour. Jennifer Aniston is also tolerable as the love interest.Give this movie a chance and a half, if you feel like a noose is tightening around your neck at work, you'll love how this movie exploits it.
