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

Tyler G 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review Jacob P Really humorous. I was laughing quite a bit. The story was really everywhere, but it was good overall. Definitely worth a watch if you work in corporate America! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/30/24 Full Review Dionisis T The movie felt to boring to deal with the fact that its a copy of F**** C*** Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/28/24 Full Review Tony S Funny stuff. Office life at its bureaucratic finest. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review 3D W Fun movie. Definitely enjoyable. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review A.L.Jude P Surprise little gem compared to what had been making dumb dull comedies lately. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Read all reviews
