There are characters in Office Space you've met and worked alongside in the horror that is cubicle hell at any Acme company anywhere in the world. Injected with a hefty dose of Dilbert, director Mike Judge, sicks them on their boss and each other to - for the first 30 minutes at least - hilarious effect. Ron Livingston, Gary Cole and Jennifer Aniston star and Stephen Root steals the movie as Milton Waddams in search of his red stapler. There are many truths in Office Space about how we work and the value we put on the 40 hours a week we spend living in cubicles, the greatest being that in the end, work is really nothing more than the silly, inconsequential thing we do between living. Beneath its crass stereotypes lies a modern day classic of work life in all its monotony.
My rating 7 out of 10.
