Customer Rating:      Summary: A must have in DVD collection Comment: No DVD collection is complete without Office Space. It's a classic. My friends and I are always making references to this movie. Red stapler, that's my red stapler. Yeeeeeah, I'm gonna need you to put the cover sheet with the TPS reports. Great movie!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Live action version of a comic strip Comment: If you are a fan of the Dilbert cartoon strip, you will enjoy this parody of the workplace. The Special Edition version includes extra scenes not seen in the original release and helps to pull the entire story together.
When you view this, remind yourself that you are not at the office.
Customer Rating:      Summary: "Ummm, Yeeeeeaaaaahhhh, Riiiigggghhhht." Comment: Have you ever had a case of the Monday blues? I'm having one as I type!
Peter (Ron Livingston) gets stuck in traffic, gets told he didn't file his TPS reports correctly by 3 different bosses, and gets hassled by the boss of his office; Bill Lumbergh (Gary Cole). Faced with massive job cuts, the workers of Inotech are on edge. Even the copy machine stops working. Sadly the copy machine meets its demise in Michael Bolton (David Herman).
After going to a therapist with his girlfriend, Peter takes a deep breath, and simply doesn't care anymore. He sleeps till noon and walks in late on a daily basis. Peter, Michael Bolton, and Samir voice their anger, complaints and hassles from their job during lunch. While at lunch he meets the lovely Jennifer Anniston at a TGIF type of restaurant during his lunch break. The company hires the 2 Bobs which weed out the dead wood within the office. Many are let go. Bob Slydell (John C. McGinley) comes upon Peter's file and meet with him. Peter tells it like it is even without thinking he could be fired. The Bobs love him and even tell Lumbergh to promote him.
All in all Peter, Michael Bolton, and Samir, who all are fed up with the company, cook up a scheme to embezzle company funds and pocket it; to get even. Will they have the last word? Will there scheme work?
Mike Judge creates this laugh a minute outake of office life. Decent extras but all in all, this is a funny movie that definitely is for anyone who has experienced the Monday blues and/or enjoys comedies.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Whoever doesn't like this movie; something is wrong with you. Comment: The title says it all. This is one great movie, if you're thinking of purchasing it, I HIGHLY recommend it.

Ever spend eight hours in a "Productivity Bin"? Ever had worries about layoffs? Ever had the urge to demolish a temperamental printer or fax machine? Ever had to endure a smarmy, condescending boss? Then Office Space should hit pretty close to home for you. Peter (Ron Livingston) spends the day doing stupefyingly dull computer work in a cubicle. He goes home to an apartment sparsely furnished by IKEA and Target, then starts for a maddening commute to work again in the morning. His coworkers in the cube farm are an annoying lot, his boss is a snide, patronizing jerk, and his days are consumed with tedium. In desperation, he turns to career hypnotherapy, but when his hypno-induced relaxation takes hold, there's no shutting it off. Layoffs are in the air at his corporation, and with two coworkers (both of whom are slated for the chute) he devises a scheme to skim funds from company accounts. The scheme soon snowballs, however, throwing the three into a panic until the unexpected happens and saves the day. Director Mike Judge has come up with a spot-on look at work in corporate America circa 1999. With well-drawn characters and situations instantly familiar to the white-collar milieu, he captures the joylessness of many a cube denizen's work life to a T. Jennifer Aniston plays Peter's love interest, a waitress at Chotchkie's, a generic beer-and-burger joint à la Chili's, and Diedrich Bader (The Drew Carey Show) has a minor but hilarious turn as Peter's mustached, long-haired, drywall-installin' neighbor. --Jerry Renshaw
