I'll have to ask you to go right ahead and buy this...
Yeah... Murderously funny movie. So many very strong characters that it just couldn't fail. No surprise, with Mike (Beavis and Butthead) Judge at the helm.Office Space brilliantly captures the mind-numbing tedium of repetitive code debugging projects in the run up to the December 31st, 1999 deadline. (The M Bug was a genuine problem, in that ANY computer code based on the concept that tomorrow's date must be numerically larger than any previous date WOULD fall over.)While the superb Gary Cole steals the show as the intensely irritating boss Bill Lumburgh, whose coffee mug never leaves his hand (even when he is making love to Jennifer Aniston in a fantasy sequence), every member of the cast gives 1000%.Rather than give away any specific details of the plot, I will just add that OS contains many sharp and witty insights into the ritual dance of modern office life, played out by the craziest collection of characters ever assembled in one movie. For that reason, it is scarily close to reality.Great... Yeah...
