Office Space?

DVD Talk Platinum Edition
A very funny quirky little film. I loved it. I laughed out loud which is rare for me. Not exactly worth $35 but it's definitly worth the $16.94 at 800.com.
So many truisms in this film. I can't wait to get this DVD.

Or you can use the 800 cents off coupon and get it for 8.94, I pre-ordered the movie. If you work in the IT field you will be able to relate to the movie.

Bought it with the $8 coupon, too. Loved the movie. One of my top ten of the year so far.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I remember seeing the previews and had to pre-order it. Since my wife and I both spend a good portion of our lives in a cubicle, I'm sure we will relate to this film. Plus, everyone says it's hella funny!!!
Yeah . . . it's a Fox release with no anamorphic transfer and no extras. However, if you still have the 800.com coupon, it's a great deal for $8.94!!!

Well, I'm hearing too many good reviews of this movie here, so I need to put in my .02
The movie has it's funny parts BUT
1. Jennifer Anniston's character is completely wasted
2. The plot is a complete mess - it just randomly changes direction at will
3. Some of the jokes are a little too stupid. For example, I didn't find three geeks smashing a fax/printer/whatever to be all that funny. It looked like something that would be fun to do, but it just wasn't funny to watch. I personally find a bunch of Dilbert cartoons lampoon the same stuff much more effectively.
YMMV

For what it's worth I found the printer thing funny. I guess the sound track and the fact that it was shot to look like a rap video with a bunch of 30 year old geeks in it made it funny for me... (Equally funny was the first "rap" scene)...
I will agree that it had little to no plot, and I do wish Jennifer Anniston's character had had a bit more development but on the whole I found it to be a very enjoyable movie.

The part where they smash the printer was the best part.

The rap soundtrack works SO well as a counter-point to their very sanitary corportate existence, that I can recommend the movie on that alone. "Damn it feels good to be a gansta..."

While many people liked this film, I thought it was boring. Maybe it's because I can't relate to the office environment and therefore probably didn't get all of the intricacies of the movie, but I won't be getting this one on DVD.

BLADE get a job maybe you will be able to relate,, The movie was halarious, yes it was lacking a plot, but hey it wasn't meant to have much of one..Also the fact that they didn't overuse Jennifer Anistons' character was a good thing, have you ever seen a good Jennifer Aniston movie? exactly.

This is a decent movie. There are some hilarious bits (such as the opening), but there are also many unfunny lulls. But, hey, 8.94 is a great deal for a $35 dvd. You can always trade it if you don't like it.

Funny, funny movie.
I liked even the more subtle jokes, like when Mike is being interviewed, and the Bobs are going off about how great Michael Bolton's music is, and he's just disgustedly agreeing with them.
"Well, I wouln't say I've been missing it Bob..."
