Office space is not frat boy comedy.

'Office' Puts Corporate Culture Through the Comedy Shredder - latimes

Quote:

What makes "Office Space" such an amusing treat is that it is chock-full of deftly defined characters. Starting with its stars, virtually every actor on whom the camera lingers even briefly gets to shine: Diedrich Bader as Peter's laid-back next-door neighbor, a contented construction worker; Stephen Root as the apprehensive, dithering and vaguely threatening most-put-upon worker in the entire office; and Todd Duffey's obnoxious waiter are but three standouts in a cast that includes Richard Riehle, Joe Bays, Orlando Jones and William King, who also contribute equally fine work.

Judge constantly finds humor in everyday exasperation: Michael coping with the coincidence that his last name happens to be Bolton; Joanna having to put up with King's relentless boss, who insists that 15 buttons with silly sayings on them don't show enough "flair" when Duffey sports a whopping 37; everyone in Peter's office wrangling with a computer printer constantly breaking down.

Working with astute production designer Edward McAvoy, Judge subtly evokes the creeping, relentless homogenization of modern life and the piling on of trivial soul-withering regulations that reflect a steady, mindless insistence on workers to conform, eroding them of their sense of individuality and freedom--even while insisting that they "express themselves."

The more you peer beneath the surface humor of "Office Space" the scarier and more serious its vision of contemporary existence becomes.

The main character of that movie is almost like a messianic figure, foreshadowing the evolution of mankind. Or at least I hope he is.

Gilliam's Brazil is one of my favourite movies. And I think Office Space is better. You're being a real fuddy duddy right now, and the only person it's harming is you.

Thinking about it they actually have quite a bit in common theme wise.

What are you talking about? I've seen both the movies I mentioned, didn't like them. I have no interest in watching the other two. So ****ing what? It's not a crime. Get off my back.

I was unaware there were three. I've only seen the one but I love it.

I never said it was. I was referring to Animal House.

Yeah yeah. Like I said, get off my back. I couldn't care less about those movies, seeing them or being converted. My choice.
