Product: Office Space (1999)
Rating: 5.0
For those who have been sentenced to life in a cubicle
"You see Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care." This line from this Mike Judge film sums up what Office Space is all about. If you sit in a cubicle 8 hours a day and mentally scream then Office Space is your bio-pic. This movie just oozes hilarity. From the corporate butt boy, Bill Lumbergh, played by Gary Cole to the ignored and abused Milton Waddams played by Stephen Root this is your work day. Ron Livingston gives an all-star performance as the hypnotized, hates his job, number cruncher Peter Gibbons. And, Jennifer Aniston, as the "just the right amount of flair" waitress Joanna does a good job playing it straight to Livingston's burnt out Gibbons. There are also fine performances by David Herman and Ajay Naidu as Livingston's co-workers. Director Mike Judge has a talent for making good comedy out of our normal mundane day to day conversations. This is a movie you can watch over and over. This DVD is a definite buy. It's time to tear down the cubicles, at least mentally.
