Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter Given the terrific setup, the rather lackadaisical ending is flat. Still, the performers have a lot of fun getting there. Feb 20, 2018 Full Review Jami Bernard New York Daily News 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. Rated: 3/4 Feb 19, 2016 Full Review Ann Hornaday Baltimore Sun Imagine a live-action version of Dilbert, or In the Company of Men reconceived as a lighthearted romp, and you get the idea of Office Space, the auspicious live-action debut of Mike Judge. Rated: 3/4 Nov 4, 2013 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies 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. Rated: 4/5 Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Stephen Silver The SS Ben Hecht Mike Judge’s film’s real target was capitalism, even if it never quite said so (25th anniversary) Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 8, 2024 Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault Consistently funny. Rated: A Sep 2, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Mitch B I love this movie. Though I don't work in an office, I can relate to hating your routine and wanting a change. We can all relate to that and we all need a catharsis and this movie is mine. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/10/25 Full Review Howar D. I love this movie, it’s my favorite comedy! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review Stephen C Funny in 1 hour and 29 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated R for Language and Brief Sexuality!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DVD and Blu-Ray Disc formats are including Deleted Scenes previously outside of the movie's theatrical release!!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $10,800,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/03/25 Full Review Andy B A slight but amusing comedy, let down a little by a drab ending. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/29/25 Full Review ChrisCSH H Office space is a witty and smart, take on the 9 to 5 grind of the cubicle culture. The film is shot in a way to make it feel drab and to show the overall mundane life that the characters are living, and it was written and directed brilliantly by Mike Judge. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/19/25 Full Review Audience Member Movie was good. Story is actually true for so many people around the world...
