Incisive and funny critique of organizational life
I agree with those who find this a superb comedy. And, as with most great comedies, it is so largely because of its extremely incisive and insightful view of contemporary society, in this case of the absurd, boring, oppressive, and meaningless character of much of contemporary life and work as experienced by those who inhabit American corporations and organizations, especially those of a high-tech and bureaucratic character. Thus it is high-quality social criticism in addition to being deeply humorous (as such other great comedies as Modern Times and The Apartment were in their times).
