Given the terrific setup, the rather lackadaisical ending is flat. Still, the performers have a lot of fun getting there. Go to Full Review Jami Bernard New York Daily News 02/19/2016
3/4
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. Go to Full Review Ann Hornaday Baltimore Sun 11/04/2013

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. Go to Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies 09/19/2024
4/5
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. Go to Full Review Stephen Silver The SS Ben Hecht 02/08/2024

Steve B @RT43949574 Mar 10 This is an absolute must see movie, I’ve watched it many times over the years and still spot things that went under my radar. Funny, clever and nostalgic. I love it See more Kenneth L @RT28484096 Mar 9 Rewatched this movie after nearly 30 years, and it still holds up. Plenty of laughs and (still!) plenty of relatable work-life issues. See more John F @Fries6511 Feb 16 Hilarious comedy that is still relevant today. See more Joanna B @RT57557838 Jan 5 It's not the funniest of films as it does tend to lean into some clichés and stereotypes but even after 26 years the reality of the mundane day to day has stayed the same. See more Maarit L @Komedienne Dec 29 I saw this in cinema 1999, still After 25 years later this makes me laugh aloud! See more Forrest S @RT54386674 Dec 10 A timeless comedy that still resonates today. Jennifer Aniston plays the perfect hottie. See more Read all reviews
