rings true
The first time I saw Office Space, a few years ago, I thought it was not bad, but nothing all that special either. I must have watched it at least 10 times since then though, and each time I like it more. Now I'd describe it as a comic masterpiece. I love what they've done with the music, and many of the less visible characters, such as Lawrence the neighbor, are hilarious. I absolutely love all the characters in this movie, with the exception of the stapler guy, whose meek and mumbly humor I still haven't managed to appreciate yet. I think what makes this movie really extaordinary though is that it does such a great job of parodying the ridiculous aspects of the office environment. As outrageous as much of the material is, it really hits home with the millions who have suffered through similarly stupid situations at their own work. Not good for young kids due to some language, I'd recommend it to anyone else who is looking for a good laugh.
