Product: Office Space (1999)
Rating: 3.0
5 stars for the movie, 3 for the dvd
A great comedy that unfortunatley disappeared too quickly in theaters, Office Space is more subtle than say, Austin Powers, or American Pie, but is just as funny. The non-raunch low decibel comedy is a dying art form, but at least there are movies like this. A classic that I hope whose time will come, it is so much better than a Dilbert knock off that it got pegged as. The DVD is sorely lacking, however. As Mike Judge's first live action film, it would have been nice to have a commentary track by him explaining the learning process and of course making some jokes. The original "Milton" animated shorts the movie was based on could have all easily fit on the disc but aren't included here. Looks like the company is squeezing what money it can out of doing as little as possible for the disc. Hmmm..maybe they should have actually watched the movie?
