BY FAR THE BEST FILM I'VE EVER SEEN IN ALL CATEGORIES !! YEAH !! Tonight I saw the best film I've ever seen. I saw "Office Space". It's sooooo good I could go on and on about it for the rest of my life, and still I'd only have time to tell you about one tenth of everything that's absolutely superb in this movie. So I'll have to be pretty selective.
Mike Judge (I'm thinkin' about calling him god from now on !!) is the man behind "Office Space". He has written and directed it. Previously he has given the world (among other things) the animated TV-series "Beavis and Butt-Head" that I really love. But since I was a bit disappointed with his first feature "Beavis and Butt-Head Do America", my expectations weren't high on this one. But with "Office Space" he delivers excellence. "Office Space" doesn't have the same type of humor as in "Beavis and Butt-Head". Not to say that this film isn't funny, because it is. It's hilarious !! I laughed constantly all the way through. But it's a different type of humor. More mature maybe. So forget Chris Knight !! Mike Judge is the REAL GENIUS !!
The cast and the characters are brilliant to say the least. There are a lot of unforgettable performances given here, most noticeably by actors: Gary Cole, John C. McGinley, and Stephen Root, because their characters are so stylizied, but in great ways that really work beautifully. Also look out for Mike "THE MAN" Judge in a cameo as Jennifer Aniston's annoying boss. (He's credited as William King though).
Anyone who has ever worked a day in their life can relate to this movie. Having to do something every single day that just bores you to death. Gettin' a lot of unnecessary crap from your boss. The brown nosers. Workers who get run over by everybody because they don't stand up for themselves. And the ones who are finally fed up. A big part of this movie is about not losing your personality and your own self respect. And that so many people let themselves get crapped on out of fear of losing their jobs, that they're really not satisfied with in the first place, just because it's their meal ticket. So I wanna go tell my boss to go "you know what" himself right now !! The film doesn't advocate doing that. It's just a personal note !!
"Office Space" is the reason why I love movies. As I wrote in my IMDb review of "Die Hard": "I had that feeling you have after you've experienced something great and unique, and you're aware of it". It's a feeling that I get inside, like something wonderful has happened in there. A feeling that stays with me long after I've left the theater. It doesn't happen often (I watch almost everything that comes out), but it happened tonight after watching "Office Space". This is a movie that's gonna have a place in my heart for the rest of my life. And I'm gonna watch it over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again !!
Go and see this film !! If I could give a refund to anyone not liking it I would, because I can't imagine anyone not loving it. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be surprised if someone wanted to give me a reward instead, just for the hot tip. I give this movie 20 out of 10 !! EXCELLENT !!
MR. JUDGE, I THANK YOU AND SALUTE YOU !! AND KEEP UP THE FANTASTICALLY GOOD WORK !!
