Product: Office Space (1999)
Rating: 3.0
Funny, But Not As Funny as Most Make It Out to Be
For all of those people who keep telling you that "you gotta see Office Space", tell them to relax. Yes, this movie is an overexaggerated look at the corporate world and it does a fine job of really making you feel that the characters in the movie have it pretty bad. All of the stereotypical office people are present, from the annoying operator ("please hold, please hold, please hold") to the degrading boss. But when people are telling you that's you're going to laugh for hours upon hours, then they obviously have not seen classic comedies like "Caddyshack" or "Animal House". This movie has many funny moments, but to rank it in the top 10 of all-time comedies is a complete joke.So do yourself a favor and rent it. You'll laugh intermittently, and for an hour-and-a-half, it's a nice ride. But don't go thinking you're watching the greatest movie of all time. "Office Space" is a witty, entertaining look at the corporate world, but one that's a far cry from being uproarious.
