I suppose you have to enjoy a certain type of comedy to truly appreciate Office Space. Be open-minded when you watch it! There are so many great scenes (like taking a terrible fax/printer to an open field and beat it to death with bats etc.) and great quotes (my favorite is always going in the background of the office scenes: "Corporate account receivables, Nina speaking, just a moment." and she just repeats it over and over. A stellar cast tops it all off. No idea how they made it for $10m. Ron Livingston is superb in his 'I just don't give a shit about work anymore' attitude. Jennifer Anniston is just a quirky waitress that works nearby. Ron's attitude is definitely rubbing off on her. Gary Cole plays the stereotypical boss. Stephen Root plays the office hermit who ultimately.. well, you will have to watch it!

<em>'Office Space'</em> is great! The first chunk of the movie really is just like the <em>'The Office'</em>; this walked so that could run etc. Amusing to see the printer scene in its natural habitat, I've seen it out of context and parodied (<em>'Family Guy'</em>, obviously) a few times but evidently had never seen it in the film it originates from. The cast are terrific. This is the first time I've seen Ron Livingston act, aside from a few minor showings in four other movies, and he's very good - surprised I hadn't previously seen him in a lead role or knew of his name up until now. Nice to see Jennifer Aniston appear, while Stephen Root and Gary Cole are amusing. Credit to the others too, e.g. David Herman and Richard Riehle.
