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.

Jul 14, 2015I am not sure why I never saw this until now. It has elements that any office worker can easily identify with. A great cast with believable characters kind of makes this the Ferris Bueller of office movies.Ian W Super Reviewer

Apr 30, 2014Umm...yeah. Office Space is an outstanding workplace comedy that brilliantly satirizes office life. After going to hypnotherapy, software engineer Peter Gibbons has a change in attitude and begins to rebel against the cubicle life that he feels trapped by. Ron Livingston, Jennifer Aniston, Stephen Root, and Gary Cole lead the cast and give strong performances. The writing is also especially good, particularly the dialog; which is quite clever and witty. Overall the film does a great job at satirizing Corporate America, and at finding humor in the mundane. A poignant and timely comedy, Office Space is incredibly smart and funny. "PC load letter! What the f*** does that mean?"Dann M Super Reviewer

Nov 08, 2012For a comedy in the realms of the start of the new millennium, Mike Judge does well in maintaining the satirical nonsense and laughter within the realms of the corporate-cubicle genre. Office Space is sly and humorous. 4/5Eugene B Super Reviewer

Aug 01, 2012Like Judge's Extract, Office Space may not be laugh-out-loud funny, but it definitely puts a smile on your face and entertains you throughout. I really loved the way the film presents an office: as something that can really waste your time when you could be making money in better ways. It shows that not everyone is meant to be cooped up in an office for the rest of their lives, which is important to consider when making career choices, therefore making the film itself important.Kevin M Super Reviewer
