Office Space Love It/Hate It Thread
→ in Movie Reviews
Ok, lemme throw in my two cents.
I had not seen Office Space until way after its release onto DVD. I knew of a bunch of people around me that had seen it and thought it was hilarious. So I took a gamble and watched it.
The first time watching it, I was undecided on whether or not I liked it. I thought it had funny parts, but then at the same time, I was bored watching it.
I gave it a second chance and it grew on me. Anyone that works in an office, or works any job for that matter, can relate to the drama that Peter and his co-workers were subjected to on a daily basis. Hell, I would've done the same thing.
But after seeing it, then watching Clerks, I find Clerks more a funny movie than I do Office Space. Simply because Clerks you can relate more to on a personal level than you can Office Space. While both are funny in their respective settings. Who in their right mind would stay at a job they hated as much as Peter clearly did just to pull off a scheme that ended up not even benefiting themself?
So, bottomline, great flick, worth watching.

I love this movie. I can't get enough of it. Steven Root is so hilarious. Plus where i work it my boss often acts like a female version of Lumbergh.
I got to meet Brian O'Halloran. He came and spoke at my college in September. I got him to sign my clerks DVD, it was pretty cool. He spent the evening telling us about different points in the movie.

Does that make sense?
I see what you're saying Escape.
Hype tends to build up a movie and then you go expecting a blockbusting, Academy Award winning, film, and you end up kicking yourself for buying the ticket to a movie that really had no strong points to it.
It DID make sense.

I totally love this movie….Saw it years ago and still cracks me up. SO well done about life at times.
I don't love it or hate it, I am more or less indifferent.
