Office Space on DVD (1999)

How are those TPS reports coming along?

David Gray from Clackmannanshire, Scotland , 26/08/2004

This movie is FUNNY. Not mildly smile at every joke funny, it's roll around in your seat laugh out loud funny. Nearly every other comment made by a character is hysterical. The movie completely captures the essense of the repetition and SAMENESS that can exist hour to hour in corporate cubicle America. The script is funny, thought provoking and also sad.

This movie gently yet methodically parodies every tiny hassle, every little miniscule detail that is encountered - certain things are exaggerated but there's a lot that's pretty accurate - the movie centers on a group of disillusioned corporate cubicle workers who hate everything about their job but are 'trapped'. Peter, the main character, a likable down to earth sort of guy, is particularly grim, he just can't relate and feels human beings were meant to do what they really want to do, not sit in tiny cubicles, doing the same repetitive thing every day. He reports to work every day but doesn't do much of anything when he gets there, just tries hard to look busy. Until one day, through rather bizzare circumstances, he changes his whole outlook and decides he simply won't work anymore-mainly because he just doesn't feel like it!

What follows is a laugh riot, as Peter casually wanders around work day after day, never attempting to work, and actually getting rewarded for doing so!

Mike Judge, creator of the classics 'Beavis and Butthead' and 'King of the Hill' was on top form when he wrote and directed this movie. It is a real must for everyone to see, not just those who have ever worked in an office, although they might get more from this film than most.

This film is simply brilliant

Wingnut from Herts , 17/11/2003

You will be in tears. Do you ever sit in your office, beliving there must be a better life? This is what this film is about. " PC load letter .. what F does that mean Fing *&* &* ect." It's really funny, the cast decide to get rich using the plan from "Superman III", you know where the guy saves all .1p that cannot be put on to anyone's pay checks, but due a mistake with a decimal point they accidentally steal millions from their company, they freak out and total panic ensues as they try to give the money back. The Gangsta Rap sound track is hilariously ironic. This is a film I saw on VHS years ago, and since then have been trying to get the DVD. Fantastic to see it is on DVDs on TAP

really is a 5 star film. Simon

Working for an American Corp - Watch This

A customer from Nottingham England , 10/02/2004

In a couple of places the film looses it's way, but other than that it is an excellent take off of American Office life.

Proof that Americans do have a sense of humour. Think of it as their version of 'The Office'

insanely funny

trevster from West Yorkshire , 29/10/2003

This film may not look or sound particulalry good from it's picture or description, but it is, believe me. Whilst it is an American film, all of our office milarky has come from there, anyway, so it fits quite nicely over here and will strike a cord with anyone who has worked in an office for any length of time. For those that haven't, what the hell, rent it anyway as it is genuninely hilarious.

PS. you'll never be able to take a TGI waiter or waitress seriously again!!

Funniest Film I have ever watched

James Beard from Forest Of Dean, England , 21/02/2005

This film is brilliant.

Right from the beginning I was rolling around laughing hysterically, mainly because of the bloke listening to music in the car was exactly what I do ... hehehe.

This film deserves more credit than it has ever got.

Watch it and have a lot of laughter.
