Product Description
From Amazon.com
Ever spend eight hours in a "Productivity Bin"? Ever had worries about layoffs? Ever had the urge to demolish a temperamental printer or fax machine? Ever had to endure a smarmy, condescending boss? Then Office Space should hit pretty close to home for you. Peter (Ron Livingston) spends the day doing stupefyingly dull computer work in a cubicle. He goes home to an apartment sparsely furnished by IKEA and Target, then starts for a maddening commute to work again in the morning. His coworkers in the cube farm are an annoying lot, his boss is a snide, patronizing jerk, and his days are consumed with tedium. In desperation, he turns to career hypnotherapy, but when his hypno-induced relaxation takes hold, there's no shutting it off. Layoffs are in the air at his corporation, and with two coworkers (both of whom are slated for the chute) he devises a scheme to skim funds from company accounts. The scheme soon snowballs, however, throwing the three into a panic until the unexpected happens and saves the day. Director Mike Judge has come up with a spot-on look at work in corporate America circa 1999. With well-drawn characters and situations instantly familiar to the white-collar milieu, he captures the joylessness of many a cube denizen's work life to a T. Jennifer Aniston plays Peter's love interest, a waitress at Chotchkie's, a generic beer-and-burger joint à la Chili's, and Diedrich Bader (The Drew Carey Show) has a minor but hilarious turn as Peter's mustached, long-haired, drywall-installin' neighbor. --Jerry Renshaw

Perfect condition but no french language on the dvd
Mar 11 2012
Format:DVD
In the Amazon site it was indicate that the movie has french language. But it does'nt. The case and the dvd are in a perfect condition.
I've bought this movie 5 times
Jun 9 2002
Format:DVD
This is one of the most comforting movies I know. When you get home from Dilbertland, and the world seems insane, pop this movie in and laugh at someone having it truly rough. It's cheaper than hypnotherapy.
I feel so strongly about the healing nature of this film, I will often purchase a copy and send it to a friend when they describe a particularly brain fryingly stupid day in corporate America.
And it's also a great quote movie. Watch it and the next day you'll be walking around saying, "Why should I? He's the one that sucks."
The DVD itself is light on features, but regardless, you'll want this movie on hand for emergencies. Let someone else fill out the TPS reports, and enjoy.
Complexity Shomplexity

Format:DVD
Bah! 2 scenes do not a movie make. Mike Judge can't decide whether he wants to be Franz Kafka or in the Hallmark Hall of Fame, so he settles for something that would make Joan Lunden titter with suppressed amusement.
Bravely lambasting office politics in a manner that only someone who has never worked in an office could enjoy, Judge then moves on to tougher fare. Waitressing in a restaraunt not the most pleasant experience? I mean, Oh my gosh, I was stunned by his searing portrayal of the disenfranchisment of Coporate America and it's inevitable Ennui-inducing Weltanschauung. Verfremdungseffekte like White men rapping and Jennifer Anniston being "Homey and down to earth" only further emphasized the moral of this story (In true Brecht fashion) - when the Proletariat fulfilled its Hegelian destiny and been run beneath the wheels of enterprise, only the Uebermensch-next-door will be able to "Take up arms" and stem the tide. If you thought what I just said was right on, go finish that poem you've been working on.
A cinematic masterpiece for anyone who likes to snicker at the misfortunes of others and fancies themselves luckily outside the world of grunts and laborers. Buy it for your Philosophy Grad-Student get togethers. Goes well with Rolling Rock.

I wasn't very impressed...
Totally stupid, although pretty realistic. It didn't get me to care for the 2-D characters and it got kinda boring after a while. Read more
