The film film is filled with lots of delightfully quirky characters, including a guy named Michael Bolton who can't stand sharing his name with the singer or Milton, a guy who was let go but never informed about it. While to make it more fun, Judge exxagerates the setting a little, I'm sure that anyone who's ever worked a fixed wage job can relate to at least one or two things in here.
The main character, whose name I don't even remember, hates his job and doesn't really have the energy to do anything about it, until one weekend he gets hypnotized which causes him to stop caring about his job at all. The guy returns to work the next Monday, and thanks to his hypnosis, does things that he would never even have dreamed of the previous Friday (ignore his bosses memos, skip meetings, etc). Two efficiency experts come in to his office and his lackadasical attitude impresses them so much that he starts earning promotions, while his two best friends from work, who are still in suck-up mode do not fare as well in their interviews.
"Office Space" really is an illustration of the complete and utter madness of office life, and while the movie has a happy ending, it really has a lot of cynicism in it, but that's ok, because it makes us want to root for the main character more. The film sticks out for its comic intelligence with reguard to the workplace, but didn't feel well-rounded enough in its portrayal of anything else to merit four stars.
