Given the terrific setup, the rather lackadaisical ending is flat. Still, the performers have a lot of fun getting there.

3/4
With a judiciously executed hip-hop soundtrack and the same anti-conformist spirit that informs Judge's TV cartoons, "Office Space" can expect to attract people who aren't even old enough to be stuck in dead-end jobs.

Rewatched this movie after nearly 30 years, and it still holds up. Plenty of laughs and (still!) plenty of relatable work-life issues.

Relaxed computer programmer Peter Gibbons (RON LIVINGSTON) enjoys a nutritious snack while playing a computer game at work.
(L-R) AJAY NAIDU, RON LIVINGSTON, DAVID HERMAN and RICHARD RIEHLE review their options when they suspect they might be "downsized."
Synopsis
Corporate drone Peter Gibbons hates his soul-killing job at software company Initech. While undergoing hypnotherapy, Peter is left in a blissful state when his therapist dies in the middle of their session. He refuses to work overtime, plays games at his desk and unintentionally charms two consultants into putting him on the management fast-track. When Peter's friends learn they're about to be downsized, they hatch a revenge plot against the company inspired by "Superman III."

Office Space may have disappointed at the box office in 1999 but as the film turned 25 years old, it's clear why it was able to attract a cult following.

Given the terrific setup, the rather lackadaisical ending is flat. Still, the performers have a lot of fun getting there.

3/4
With a judiciously executed hip-hop soundtrack and the same anti-conformist spirit that informs Judge's TV cartoons, "Office Space" can expect to attract people who aren't even old enough to be stuck in dead-end jobs.

Steve B @RT43949574 Mar 10 This is an absolute must see movie, I’ve watched it many times over the years and still spot things that went under my radar. Funny, clever and nostalgic. I love it See more Kenneth L @RT28484096 Mar 9 Rewatched this movie after nearly 30 years, and it still holds up. Plenty of laughs and (still!) plenty of relatable work-life issues. See more

Relaxed computer programmer Peter Gibbons (RON LIVINGSTON) enjoys a nutritious snack while playing a computer game at work.
(L-R) AJAY NAIDU, RON LIVINGSTON, DAVID HERMAN and RICHARD RIEHLE review their options when they suspect they might be "downsized."
SynopsisCorporate drone Peter Gibbons hates his soul-killing job at software company Initech. While undergoing hypnotherapy, Peter is left in a blissful state when his therapist dies in the middle of their session. He refuses to work overtime, plays games at his desk and unintentionally charms two consultants into putting him on the management fast-track. When Peter's friends learn they're about to be downsized, they hatch a revenge plot against the company inspired by "Superman III."
