Office Space

Given the terrific setup, the rather lackadaisical ending is flat. Still, the performers have a lot of fun getting there.

With a judiciously executed hip-hop soundtrack and the same anti-conformist spirit that informs Judge's TV cartoons, "Office Space" can expect to attract people who aren't even old enough to be stuck in dead-end jobs.

Imagine a live-action version of Dilbert, or In the Company of Men reconceived as a lighthearted romp, and you get the idea of Office Space, the auspicious live-action debut of Mike Judge.

Office Space, a knowing, somewhat slight, often hilarious sendup of cubicle culture, exploits the yuks in the chronic misery of those routinely exposed to the monotonous gray of corporate minds and company decor.

The more you peer beneath the surface humor of Office Space the scarier and more serious its vision of contemporary existence becomes.

A hilarious knockdown of corporate culture.

Office Space may have disappointed at the box office in 1999 but as the film turned 25 years old, it's clear why it was able to attract a cult following.

Mike Judge’s film’s real target was capitalism, even if it never quite said so (25th anniversary)

Consistently funny.

“Work sucks” is the simple tagline of cult classic Office Space. More than two decades since the film was released, it seems that there are a lot more people who agree.
