Office Space

Funny does not quite describe this understated comedy.

Created by the Beavis and Butt-head maestro himself, Mike Judge, this live action film follows the life of a terminally depressed office drone, Peter Gibbons (Ron Livingstone-Band of Brothers) and his realization (under hypnosis) that life can be so much better if he just doesn't care.

With that in mind, Peter sets out to shirk his every responsibility. Very successfully.

There are true comic moments in this film, moments that you laugh at to yourself, out loud (and subsequently embarrass yourself in public).

I'll leave leave this review with one thought...damn it feels good to be a gangster!

Budget: $10,000,000
Gross: $10,827,813

Fun Fact: There's a series of spin-offs with the office odd-ball, Milton (played in magnificently understated fashion by Stephen Root).
