Leave My Damn Stapler Alone
This really isn't a great movie. It's a simple office comedy where people go through trite situations that have been played out a million times in a million other movies. What this is, this 90-something minute long thing, is a work of artistic genius. Ron Livingston might be a bit stone-faced and Jennifer Anniston clearly understands that she was hired to be the prerequsite cinema eye-candy but the rest of the actors sell the feature.
One of the most quotable movies in decades, OFFICE SPACE details life in a cubicle but also shows scenes of working for a TGIFriday's restaurant atmosphere as well. What we do in our jobs, the daily in and out soul sucking that occurs and how one man decides to step up against it and stop playing along. Aided in this quest by a hypnotherapy session gone awry, Livingston became the messiah for every frustrated white collar worker.
Written and directed by Mike Judge, best known for his television ventures Beavis & Butthead and King of the Hill, it is in the subtle directing and killer screenplay that this movie becomes something more than it was destined to be. Largely ignored by the movie studio when it was released, poorly advertised and sentenced to a destiny of a dusty bottom shelf, OFFICE SPACE eventually gained speed in a cult classic status. It's so damn popular now that Judge has been offered the opportunity to make a sequel.
Man, I woulda done anything to have heard him laugh his ass off when that offer came in. It mut have sounded like Gary Cole with his tail between his legs, begging for a favor.

| This movie was funny but I think the reason why it was so popular was because anyone knows that works in an office that this was TRUE humor...... |
