Absolutely Perfect
"Office Space" is a brilliant and totally spot-on satire of life in an office. Mike Judge wrote and directed a quirky and unlikely story of office vengance. The jokes are often subtle...but even the disguised jokes are belly laugh funny.Using a cast of largely-unknown actors, Judge keeps the laughs coming. Dietrich Bader (hilariously disguised in a mullet wig and biker mustache) provides a great white trash accent as Peter's goofy neighbor. Our hero Peter is played by Ron Livingston. Peter turns into an unlikely hero, doing what all of us wish we had the guts to do in our sterile office environments. Peter's work buddies, Zamir Naginnajar and Michael Bolton (no relation) are perfect, played as everyday joes just trying to get by.Everyone knows someone like all of the characters in "Office Space", making it very familiar from the first viewing. It's perfect for repeat viewings too and has more quotable lines than most movies released today. I can't wait to see what Mike Judge does next.
