Rating: 5.0
5 star classic captures the ethos of the suburban office park tech worker
Office Space is one of the most widely loved and widely quoted cult classics of the last 20 years.There is a reason for this. One is Mike Judge's bizarre sense of humor, where everyday mundane office chores can be like Sissyphus rolling the stone up the hill. Where the bosses in their shiny cars are suspender wearing monkeys like Lumbergh. "ummm yeah. I'm gonna need you to write this review....on sunday. Ummkay?" This movie was what jobs were really like in the dot.com/tech cubicle farm world in which many of us worked. Sure the acting is decent at best, but its the chemistry between the actors with their counterparts that make it shine. taking the printer machine, and its evil "pc load letter" screen, out to some abandoned field and beating it to death with a baseball bat is a scene of genius. Find me some office worker who hasnt wanted to kick the crap out a office machine.As far as the Special Set wtih Flair, you get four bried deleted scenes and the usual filler. the Packaging is cool though. If you are someone who already owns the movie, dont buy this version unless you are a serisouly fanatical fan. If you dont have your own copy, shame on you. At this price, pick this version up. This also makes a phenomenal secret santa gift in your office. No one will be unhappy with this one, especially if you already have co-workers identified as Office Space characters. It's a movie. Enjoy it.
