Review of Clockwatchers (1997) by Christopher L — 12 Jul 2005
Starring: Toni Collette, Parker Posey, Lisa Kudrow, Alanna Ubach, Helen FitzGerald, Stanley DeSantis, Jamie Kennedy, Paul Dooley, and Bob Balaban.
Directed by Jill Specher.
Written by Jill Sprecher and Karen Sprecher.
Rated [b]PG-13[/b] (for brief language).
Running time approximately 1 hour 32 minutes.
Jill Sprecher's [i]Clockwatchers[/i] is a brilliant and hilarious black comedy with wonderful performances and a great vision of office life. Collette, Posey, Kudrow and Ubach are temps hired into a credit office, and all four of them hit it off wonderfully, which is odd because they are all so very different. Posey and Collette deliver the most wonderful performances here. The film's only flaw is that it seems to drag toward its conclusion, but the conclusion itself is a very satisfying one. [b]***1/2 (out of ****) B+[/b].
