That looks absolutely great! Very satisfying. I've never even heard of it.
Hang on ... Just looked it up. It says 'from the creator of Beavis and Butthead'. That kind of humour can't sustain a whole film, can it?

I love Beavis and Butthead!
But, no, it's more subtle than that. It's quite slight plot wise but it's deffo worth a watch, especially if, like me, you endure the horror of office work 5 days a week.

Hilarious, especially if one has worked in an office setting...and no, it's not "Bevis and Butthead" style humor...Closer to his Idiocracy script...

It's absolutely the kind of movie that I would happily come to rest on and watch till the end whenever it would pop up on cable television.
So many little bits of dialogue have worked their way into everyday conversation.
And who doesn't absolutely envy the pure state of Zen that Peter accidentally stumbles into?
Even the broadest caricatures (Lawrence, Lumbergh, the consultants) work perfectly in context.

The creator of Beavis and Butthead, Mike Judge, was a Silicon Valley engineer at a start up graphic card company early in his professional life. That's what Office Space is based on.
Judge is a really smart guy, with graduate science degrees from UC San Diego.

I enjoyed it until about halfway through when they decided to have a plot. As a Cheech & Chong fan, I can tell you that a plot is nothing but a hindrance.
