Review of Office Space (1992) by Quinn B — 12 Aug 2011

Who knew a comedy could be so good, based in a cubical...

Mike Judge does a terrific job not only directing this, but also writing it. He creates a fun, witty comedy, with some very strange characters. There is some wildly entertaining moments, and some great acting. It also has Jennifer Aniston, and she looks so young! Although at 30, it seems she never ages. Ron Livingston does a pretty damn good job in this, but in my mind David Herman stole the show with a hilarious performance as Michael Bolton...no relation.

Office Space follows Peter, and his 2 friends Michael and Samir. They all hate their jobs, and their boss (played by Gary Cole). Peter finally is going to do something about it, he starts skipping work when he doesn't feel like going, and when he does go, he is care free and laid back. Right as he starts to live this new life style, his company is starting down sizing. By doing nothing Peter is some how getting promoted. He doesn't know how, and quite frankly doesn't care. With a new girlfriend Joanna (Jennifer Aniston), Peter is living the life he always wanted to. Now there is only one thing left to do, he and his friends devise a plan to rip off the company.

I was really surprised at how good this comedy was. Actually scratch that, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I randomly bought this the other day for $4.99 on blu ray!

I'm surprised at how funny this film was, without really any crude/vulgar parts. Sure there are a few, but nothing over the top.

But in the end this is a great comedy. With lots of silly parts.

Jennifer Aniston does a great job as well, and is looking good as always.

My Rating for Office Space is.

80%.

With some Flair!
