Mike Judge. Beavis & Butthead. You find that hilarious. Because of the bone-dry, bland humor. Or very annoying. Because of the bone-dry, bland humor. So then you will also find a film by Mike Judge hilarious, or annoying. Because of the bone-dry, bland humor.
In that respect, Office Space is actually not that bad. As a result, unlike B&B, you can walk the golden mean here. An advantage is that you have ever worked in an office; that makes the matter a little easier to handle.
There is no shortage of great acting performances and one-liners here; especially Gary Cole as boss Bill Lumbergh never ceases to amaze with his seemingly effortless yuppie/businessman schtick. The soundtrack is also very well chosen; it's a bit in between fifties swing and gangsta rap. A little strange, but somehow striking.
Unfortunately, story-wise, the film cannot quite follow the acting performance; towards the end the humor takes a back seat and people are mainly busy tying up the loose ends.
Nevertheless, there is still some very nice comedy about it. It has to be said: you have to love it. If so, you've spent an hour and a half just fine.

Recommended. It is a pity that Livingston has meanwhile become too old and serious to (want to) debit this kind of laziness. The film is a cult classic among enthusiasts and nerds with a sense of humor. If not, skip. "Your name is really Michael Bolton?"...

Pretty funny and deliciously unsentimental, although the moment when the main character is rewarded with promotion by Bob & Bob for his indifference by Bob & Bob, the film crosses the line from realism to absurdism, and so towards the end the inspiration is a bit lost to make one. nice ending. Never mind, he remains entertaining right up to the last second, with a special mention to Peter's boss Bill Lumbergh ("Ah... yeah...") who even when he's in Peters nightmare Jennifer Aniston gives a fuck yet holds his coffee mug. A film that still gains stature in memory.
