Brief synopsis of Clockwatchers

A black comedy about four young women - shy Iris (Collette), brash Margaret (Posey), wannabe starlet Paula (Kudrow), and pampered Jane (Ubach) - who become fast friends while temping at a big company where looking busy is a full time occupation. But when their boss hires a new assistant, their jobs - and their friendship - are suddenly in danger.

Rated - 5 starsA better than average look at the 9-5 humdrum

This is one of my favourite movies. Many qualities make this an excellent movie for me. Stellar acting from all, especailly Parker Posey.

This film looks at the different themes of working as a temp in a small american town. When politics come up, change and friendships blossom and then fade. Life moves like the sea, and waves of good and bad.

Ultimately a very 'real' portrayal of certain aspects of life, with a wonderful story along the way. It may be a little slow, but don't give up on it. A beautiful gem of a movie. 5/5
