A take-this-job-and-shove-it movie about the crushing malevolence of the corporate environment, it's on the verge of being really good.
Some horrible Monday, why not cut work to see it?
The gags about the daily grind and what happens when a drone forgets how to be submissive make for beautifully low-key satire.
Judge's sense of the ridiculous serves him well.
When Peter actively rebels and is ironically rewarded for his efforts by the head honchos, the picture loses its bite -- what began as discomfiting satire soon devolves into silly farce.
So good, you should quit work to see it.
A shapeless comedy of little merit.
Even if it doesn't up live to its inspired beginning, Mike Judge scores something with all the marks of a workplace cult classic with his first big-screen, live-action outing.
The quintessential modern-day workplace comedy.
A comedy about authority and the searing resentment that its lazy application engenders -- the dialogue is rich, the details spot-on and the laugh-out-loud factor as high as just about any comedy of the 1990s.
The Blu-ray release gives you the movie's 'special edition,' which means a nice little bundle of extras are included.
A mildly funny satire on contemporary office work in America.
Who hasn't sat at his desk after lunch and spaced out for an hour? Who wouldn't love to march the copy machine into a field and go to town on it with a baseball bat?
Plays like a live-action version of the "Dilbert" comic strip. A smart, funny satire.
Um, yeah... why don't you just go ahead and... buy this DVD... That'd be great.
If the movie suffers from mild aimlessness and editorial confusion, and it does, those are relatively small speed bumps to endure for such a canny and quick-witted affair.
