Office Space NEVER gets old! It almost seems as if it becomes more poignant over time. And this quote from the main character Peter Gibbons should be tweeted/shared always and forever:

"Michael, we don't have a lot of time on this earth! We weren't meant to spend it this way. Human beings were not meant to sit in little cubicles staring at computer screens all day, filling out useless forms and listening to eight different bosses drone on about about mission statements."

This movie has so many ah-ha moments it's scary -- I mean for a comedy it ends up showing you so much about real humanity and the inner struggle of the common working man/woman (especially those who work in the office farms).

I think we all should have our "Peter Gibbons" moment every now and then, that time when we say "you know what? I don't want to do this anymore." or that moment when you realize your wasting your life and you take action -- just once, walk past the boss or come to work without the jacket and tie/skirt and heels.

The other thing I appreciate about this movie and all movies of this era (90's and before) is there's no cell phones, no internet, no iPads, etc. Interesting to go back and see that we actually lived lives and communicated with people without the tech we cling to today.

Hello Amazon reviewers, what's happening? I'm going to go ahead and ask that you like this movie because it is a great "hate working in the office" environment. I bought this wanting to relive the memories this gem holds, and i love every second of it. For those who have had their own red swingline stapler stolen, you should see this. So if you can just go ahead and buy now, that'll be great, okay, thanks a lot everybody.

Great satire on the cubicle life, and really a kind of modern take on 'Modern Times.' I can't help but think that the traffic jam at the beginning, and the close up of the watch at the start of Peter's work day were homages to Charlie Chaplin's opening scenes in 'Modern Times.' Even if they weren't, this movie really captures the helplessness of this kind of work and the emptiness of the kind of fake business "culture" that so many companies try to create. Gary Cole is spot on as the passive aggressive manager, and the two consultants are hilarious. My only complaint is Mike Judge's occasional leap into his Beavis and Butthead period when "corn-hole" jokes and other kind of teenage potty humor ruled the day. Fortunately, most of the jokes in this movie are clever, and it's depiction of modern alienation holds up after 16 years.

My work buddies and I are always quoting this movie -- all the little crazy annoyances of everyday work life. It keeps us sane.

The writer / director / actor, Mike Judge, says that he gets asked more about this movie than any other of his works. I'm SO happy Mike Judge worked as an engineer before he went into film.

I bought 3 of these, used, on Amazon to give as gifts. Sure, you might be able to find them for $5 now at a big box store but who has time for that? My prices were right at or under $5 (including shipping) and they came right to my front door.

so i watched this movie, as i really liked the director and came across this one when researching other titles Mike Judge has directed. i knew nothing prior to watching it, apart from that Jennifer Aniston starred in it. i really only bought it so i could qualify for free shipping, as a space filler, so wasn't really too phased or worried about not liking it. after watching it, it completely exceeded my expectations. i thought it would be like the UK, US television series "the office" - not a show i really ever enjoyed. i just never saw the attraction to a television series based on the shenanigans that people get up to at a 9 to 5 desk job. but this movie...like it was cool man. it was. characters had personality and they had likability. and last but not least, without giving too much away, it also had an ending where the little guy wins and is able to overthrow a corporation run by tyrannical employers.

so look, it's a nice little mix and match of "the office" meets "horrible bosses" but better than both of them. it has the humour that "the office" lacked, without the tomfoolery of "horrible bosses".
not a laugh every minute comedy, but i'd 100% recommend it to anyone looking for an easy watch that doesn't fail to entertain.

Do you like old kung fu movies? Are you sick of subscriptions to magazines you don't read? Did you get the memo about how good this movie is? Do you realize everything in this movie happens every day all around you? Jump to the right conclusion, already, buy this flick!

This is basically what Silicon Valley is really like. Idiot boss, slutty co-worker, overly cheerful administrative assistant, colleague with weird name, cubicle depression, free-living construction/roadworks neighbors or friends, and fad/themed restaurants with random junk on the walls and on the employees. I swear that the payroll clerk at the last company I worked at was a spitting image of Milton, glasses and all. He couldn't understand why people would make jokes about a red stapler around him, and I even caught him once talking about wanting to... well you'll just have to watch this movie to find out what Milton does.
