I know this is not any groundbreaking thought provoking hardhitting movie.. Its just one of those movies you pick out from your DVD collection and say, "Hey I haven't seen that in a while." An when you do watch it , you remember how much you laughed the first time you saw it. You probably were in school or college when the movie first came out(I was!). Its so much more relevant now! And a lot more funnier!
Okay for those haven't seen it, here's the review.. for those who already have, here's something you already know ;)
Office Space is your dose of comedy if you are currently stuck in your cubicle and you hate it. Hate it so bad that you could just get up, take an axe and hack your computer to pieces(the word 'hack', also means To cut or chop with repeated and irregular blows.)
The characters in the movie are people you see everyday in your office -Your manager, your co-workers and who can forget, underpaid and underutilized you!
Office Space is about Peter Gibbons, a cubicle worker in a computer firm which is in the process of downsizing. Peter's friends Samir and Michael Bolton(thats his name!) are employees getting the pink slip. Lumbergh(Gary Cole) plays the part of the Evil Boss to a T. Also contains a serving of Jennifer Aniston, slurp!(Why do you hate her again? C'mon, she's not a bad actress.)
Director Mike Judge is the guy behind Beavis and Butthead. This is his first full-length non-animated movie and he demonstrates his comic abilites once again with this satire.
If you like Scott Adams' Dilbert, this is right up your alley.
You can't help but think of the characters in this movie long after its over and have quick laugh.
Caution: Might cause you to quit your current job and provoke you to look for alternate careers.
Verdict: Refreshing :)

Do you remember the name of the movie in which one guy writes a program to siphon off the rounded-off fractions of cents in every transaction to a separate account, and that grows into a multi-million dollar account without them realizing it?

Oh good, thats what I thought, but when I saw no mention of that in the review I thought maybe I was mistaken!

Sorry guys, most of you don't know me but I guess that would't matter too much here.
I watched this movie after reading the review and in my opinion, it is a terrible movie.
But then, that's my view.
PS: May be I don't have an open mind ;-)
