Okay, I figure I'll weigh in on this disc since I haven't seen it reviewed yet. Personally, I love this movie. I think it is hilarious and is filled with small truths about working in an office. It's a very low key comedy, kind of the way Swingers is low key.

Is the disc worth $34.99? Of course not, but hardly any disc really is. Let's be serious, you can find it cheaper online. The transfer is actually quite good. Not 16x9, but I never noticed anything that bad whatsoever about the transfer. The sound was pretty good, but I don't have a surround system so I can't really give the kind of sound review that some can.

The only extra of note is the Trailer which looks fine. The menus are actually pretty well done. Better than one would exprect for a film like this. Fox actually does a good job on most of their menus.

I also agree, this movie kicks ass. Anyone who has been herded into a cubic like a bunch of cattle will be able to relate to this movie.

I liked the movie, but I thought it went off track once they introduced the virus. I thought they should have stuck with the main characters "I don't care" attitude and how far it could get him in today's corporate world.

And I would have liked more send ups of the futility and stupidity in todays monolithic, moribund large corporations.

I think it was worth a rent, but if there had been more special features, I think would have definitely been worth a buy.
