Critic Reviews

  • Joe Leydon, Variety

    Frequently uproarious.

  • David Edelstein, Slate

    A take-this-job-and-shove-it movie about the crushing malevolence of the corporate environment, it's on the verge of being really good.

  • Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine

    Some horrible Monday, why not cut work to see it?

  • Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader

    The gags about the daily grind and what happens when a drone forgets how to be submissive make for beautifully low-key satire.

  • Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

    Judge's sense of the ridiculous serves him well.

    "Office Space" may not the be the funniest movie ever, but it's heart and true-to-life moments are fantastic. As we follow Peter, a man who really just doesn't care about life and hates his job, he goes to see a man who claims to be able to put him at peace. Once… More

    Peter Gibbons: Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.  "Work sucks" Office Space is a good little… More
