Product: Office Space (1999)
Rating: 5.0
Every office drudge should watch this movie.
This movie reminds me why I'd never want a desk job. I had to watch it a couple of times before I got the full gist of it, but every time, I understood it more and more.Unless you're self-employed and work at home, you can't help but draw your own similarities to the Office Space work environment and your own. I've worked with a Lumberg, a Joanna, and a Michael... and a guy who didn't have an Arabic name, but he wanted to beat up every piece of office machinery which didn't work right. We even had a Milton-like guy once... he ended up going berserk and being escorted out by the police, but that's another story.All in all, I highly recommend this movie to everyone who has a job and knows what it's like to suffer from the aggravation of office politics. This movie delivers a figurative eye-gouging to all the politics and backstabbing that goes on every day in America's corporate workplaces. It shows one of the things that can happen when big corporate CEOs think they're making some really smart move, and end up shooting themselves in the foot instead.WORDS OF WARNING: 1) if you're a bureaucratic jerk boss like Lumberg, DO NOT watch this movie because you won't find it funny... 2) never, ever do anything to make a Milton angry, because you never know what they'll do.
