Richard Christiansen Chicago Tribune 10/27/2015
It's a lamebrained movie, without much sense in its construction. Go to Full Review
Michael Wilmington Los Angeles Times 10/27/2015
The structure here is a bit like '50s social comedies but there's no satiric force, just chutzpah and energy. The movie confuses iconoclasm with wit, and bile with guts; it's mostly thin and mean-spirited. Go to Full Review
Janet Maslin New York Times 10/27/2015
Though corporate satire has been out of vogue for a while, it's ready for a revival. But while ''Head Office'' has its moments, it winds up much too understated to have a cutting edge. Go to Full Review
Lorien Haynes Radio Times 10/27/2015
1/5
Sadly Reinhold fails to be funny enough to carry the movie and the only sparky moments are down to support characters Don Novello and Richard Masur. Go to Full Review
TV Guide 10/27/2015
A needle in a haystack would be easier to find than a laugh in this film--which is surprising, considering that the cast includes such names as DeVito, Moranis, Novello, Doyle-Murray, and Shawn. Go to Full Review

Tries to be funny and satirical but misses the mark more often than not. Go to Full Review

thiago s @Thiagostone Nov 30 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more David C. @ChessMaestroXL Sep 2 Very funny with a good cast. See more 05/22/2020 1986: A recent business college graduate gets an entry-level job in a huge conglomerate company, thanks to his senator father. The new entry gets a taste of the ways and means (and negatives) of the conglomerate; he finds himself getting quick promotions, though he doesn't feel qualified for them. He crosses hairs with top management when he makes statements that differ with the corporate line. This movie, more or less a satire on the business world, feels more like a string of scenes than an actual movie. Very capable cast, though some barely appear in the movie (Danny DeVito and Rick Moranis are gone after 15 minutes). The zaniness doesn't really go anywhere. Ultimately disappointing. Stars: Judge Reinhold, Lori-Nan Engler, Eddie Albert, Richard Masur, and Jane Seymour. See more 09/09/2018 This was great to see after all these years. Things have not changed so much in our country. Rich still get richer, and crooks are running the show. Loved seeing the old memory typewriter working. :) See more 08/18/2016 College graduate goes to work for shady business in this boring unsuccessful attempt at satire. See more 01/30/2016 A poorly made film that feels like it was on a low budget even though there are some well-known actors. I didn't find anything about it funny and wouldn't say it is worth watching. (First and only viewing - 2/18/2016) See more Read all reviews
