Office Space was a pretty good comedy overall. Its portrayal of office life is funny and, throughout, it is pretty funny. It is never uproariously funny, but the humor it goes for often times works pretty well. The acting is fine as a wholeOffice Space was a pretty good comedy overall. Its portrayal of office life is funny and, throughout, it is pretty funny. It is never uproariously funny, but the humor it goes for often times works pretty well. The acting is fine as a whole and the story is interesting. However, something just feels like it is missing. It is hard to put my finger on it, but I was left slightly underwhelmed. I was entertained and the movie was just fine, but there was a part of me that felt like there was something that was not there that should have been there. I guess my problem with the film is that it felt relatively safe. It was not extraordinary in any way and was content just being some movie rather than going for more. While fine, I doubt this one will be one I remember in great detail. Just feels run-of-the-mill. Expand

More of an entertainment movie than one that teaches you anything. There were some comic elements in the movie but pretty mild comedy. The acting was great though by everyone.

Office Space is sometimes funny, and has an interesting storyline. But the best part of Office Space is its spot-on accuracy of portraying life inside the cubicle.

Office Space

Judge's mockery on the mundane life is frankly not that funny as he might think. It is loosely placed and poorly edited with awkward silences in mid sequences that just doesn't fit. The concept is something to ponder about but beyond that it barely moves forward on terms of storytelling. And as far as the irritation and the frustration that it has to communicate, it does that easily and smoothly and the primary reason to that is that there are tons of mutual things to connect with the audience. And since it practically depicts, your mundane life and mocks over it, there are tiny notions and typical sketchy gags that you can thoroughly enjoy.

The narration is sloppy and not at all gripping, it has a lot to say but it probably found itself obliged to draw a laugh out of each scene that resulted into a big misconceived misconception about corporate world. Livingston isn't hilarious, his eyes doesn't speak the laziness that its character demands and neither is Aniston in her A game on supporting him. The other cast holds on to their one-dimensional acts and draws out few chuckles every now and then. It doesn't take itself seriously in its initial stages and when it wants you to take things seriously in the final act, it gets kind of difficult to shift the tone.

Judge has the heart in the right place and that enthusiasm is what fuels this somewhat dim witted script and makes it worth the while. The conversations are pragmatic but the execution of it could have been a lot better. Judge feels vulnerable behind the screen and you can practically see him sweat, there is no ease in storytelling, it makes you uncomfortable at times. Office Space has a good satirical message to convey to its audience, buy personally I prefer the meal perfectly cooked and not just contain mouthwatering ingredients.
