Office Space review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 08/17/11
We sometimes can relate to Peter Gibbons (Ron Livingston) frustrations of having a boss such as Bill Lumbergh (Gary Cole. Luckily he finds Joanna (Jennifer Aniston), who has similar distaste for lousy management and Kung-Fu movies. Peter’s friends Samir Nagheenanajad (Ajay Naidu) and Michael Bolton (David Herman) share the same sentiments with Initech’s mismanagement. Both were part of the company’s downsizing while Peter gets promoted for sharing his candor of office problems. The three create a virus to divert fraction of pennies to a bank account; unfortunately, an erroneous decimal point has affected a massive loss in the company. A very disgruntled and abused employee puts the office on fire. Some good lines: Peter – “We don't have a lot of time on this earth. We weren't meant to spend it this way. Human beings were not meant to sit in little cubicles staring at computer screens all day, filling out useless forms and listening to eight different bosses drone on about mission statements.” If only the movie had a better ending instead of abruptly completing the way it did. There were times where the audio fit in well, cinematography was suited and script just plain uproarious. Much like Heathers, Shawshank Redemption and Donnie Darko, this became a cult classic since it was televised a lot and thru DVD sales. From beginning to end, the film delivers the exuberance and veracities that we need to get thru a hard day’s work at the office. If you hate your boss or job, you’re going to love Office Space.
