Review
I must admitI did not think much of Office Space when I first saw it in the theaterbut Ive seen it several times sinceand I have got to say it has grown on me quite a lot.This is an appropriate tribute to people like me everywhere who hate their jobs.I am not a big fan of rap musicbut the rap score somehow makes the film even more appealing.The plot is hilariousthe characters are hystericaland its just a fun movie.If you hate your job want to feel at least a little better about itthis film is for you.
