Office Space (1999)


This movie is from the genius that brought King Of The Hill and Beavis & Butthead and brings you this timeless classic about a guy in a cubicle that says screw the system. Ron Livingston (44 Minutes) plays Peter Gibbons, a regular guy with big dream beyond his cubicle at a lame software company who decides one day that enough is enough. Peter and his friends Michael Bolton (David Herman) and Samir (Ajay Naidu) decide their going to rip off the company after they find out that their jobs are gone and Peter get a promotion for not showing up to work. Peter sees a hypnotist and decides that he's no longer going to care about his stupid job. So, he starts to slack off, but no matter what he does to piss off his boss Lumbergh (Gary Cole), consultants "The Bobs" (Paul Wilson and John C. McGinley) feel Peter is perfect for upper management. This movie sort of shows why working behind a cubicle is like death and why you should live life to the fullest. The movie also stars Jennifer Aniston (He's Just Not That Into You) as Peter's new girlfriend Joanna, the very funny Diedrich Bader (The Drew Carey Show)as Peter's redneck next door neighbor, and Stephen Root (Dodgeball) as the very weird but misunderstood Milton. This movie is a classic and deserves Four Stars Out Of Five
