Critics Consensus

Mike Judge lampoons the office grind with its inspired mix of sharp dialogue and witty one-liners.

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.

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

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

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

Mike Judge’s film’s real target was capitalism, even if it never quite said so (25th anniversary)

Comedies and films like office space hardly come out these days. The dynamic between the main actor and his boss are hilarious and I felt it on so many levels. Watching the other guy get sent to the basement over time was funny and I could totally see the end coming. I was laughing so much throughout this movie and found it to be an original concept that'll stick with me for a while. Anyone who's ever worked in an office or corporate environment will appreciate this film, the outstanding actors, and the various issues that face corporate America today. I wish I saw this sooner, and recommend this to anyone looking for an entertaining night.
