Product: Office Space (1999)
Rating: 5.0
A movie with "replay"ability!
This is a movie that can 'speak' to you! Some movies you watch, and you enjoy them.... some movies you watch, and they become a part of you because you can associate with the characters, their situtations, and how they feel. That accurately describes Office Space.To be a bit cruel, the concept for this movie came from a short animated clip done by Mike Judge (of Beavis and Butthead and King of the Hill fame). It was well received, and converted into a full length film. Because of those beginnings, some times this movie feels a bit like 3 stories pasted together and they made up one continuous 'thread' to tie the plots together.Notice that this doesn't hurt my rating of the video at all!I find I associate with Peter Gibbon's hatred of working in a cubicle, the need to just 'get away' from it all. Of wanting to do things for yourself in life. This movie, unwittingly, ends up describing ME and how I feel about my life!There's one line in the movie, after Peter skips work all weekend, he wanders into work late on Monday to get his address book. His best friend explains that he's in a lot of hot water, and what has he been doing?Peter replies "I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything I imagined it could be".Amen.
