Product: Office Space (1999)
Rating: 5.0
Right on target!!
Mike Judge, the creator of Beavis & Butthead, turns his brilliantly satirical eye towards Corporate America in "Office Space".If, like me, you've spent most of your adult life as a "white collar professional", you'll identify with the countless stings and barbs Judge slings at middle management types, the absurdities we encounter daily in preparing our "TPS Reports", and corporate culture in general.This is satire for sure, but beneath the satire lies so much truth, you have to believe that Judge secretly infiltrated some faceless Office building somewhere in LA County for a week, and like Cameron Crowe----posing undercover as a high school student to give us "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"----Judge surfaces with an over the top slice of bitterly funny truth.This is a very funny movie----many reviews here have mentioned some of the best bits so I'll refrain from repeating them----but suffice it to say, after watching "Office Space" for the 5th or 6th time, you too will be repeating a few of the more memorable catch phrases the next time your sitting at your PC typing up "one of the new cover sheets for the TPS Reports"!!
