Knock down the cubicles!
Office Space is to 'working' movies what Animal House was to college movies. Peter is your average guy who hates his job, barely enjoys his life, is trapped in a loveless relationship..and in general has no control over his life. After being hypnotised one night, his outlook changes. Peter no longer cares about his job, and goes when he feels like it. He dumps his girlfriend and begins going after a waitress at his favorite haunt (played by Jennifer Aniston). At the same time, his two best friends at his job are about to be fired in a shakedown of the company. Meanwhile Peter is going to be promoted....this is when the hijinks begin. Another great turn in this film is the character of Milton (played by a barely recognizable Stephen Root most known for the boss in NewsRadio). He mumbles constantly, and is put down all the time. Gary Cole plays Peter's boss, and he's about as self absorbed and snobbish as one can be. But rather than tell you the story, you have to see this one yourself.If you've ever had a job you hated, and wished you could get back at your boss...Watch this movie.
