Product: Office Space (1999)
Rating: 4.0
painful and funny
The best part of Office Space is its exaggerated but accurate depictions of life in the modern office place. I've worked in many similar places, and seen many similar stupidities. I've met many of its characters, such as Lumbergh, the Porsche-driving VP jerk who expects "his" people to come in on the weekend.I've watched Office Space at least half a dozen times, and it still manages to make me cringe and laugh at the same time. Very funny, very pertinent. I figure that those who chose better career paths, ones that didn't relegate them to cube farms, will probably not "get" the movie.While I have no qualms about R-rated movies and strong language, I feel this is one of those movies that would probably been better off had it gotten a PG or PG-13 rating. The downside is that I can't pop it onto an LCD projector at the office, for fear of getting a visit from the HR Police.
