I got it on R1 DVD (little/no extras, although nice 'animated menu') about a year ago. It's pretty good alright, all the actors seemed to 'get' what their characters were all about - right through from Gary Cole as Lumbergh, to the weasely little guy playing the waiter in Chotchkie's.

The film kinda trails off towards the end, which is a little shame, because if this film was as consistently funny as the first act, it wouldn't be stuck in the hole of obscurity it seems to be in right now, and maybe people would be mentioning it on every thread on this board (a bit like what is happening with 'Ring' right now).

A few of my friends have complained about not finding it as funny, mainly due to the hundreds of people hyping it as being the funniest office-related comedy ever. It's not (the BBC's 'The Office' holds that title), but it's still pretty damn funny.

I'd probably be hyping it a lot more myself, if I didn't find myself relating to Milton, more than anyone else

cool id have to relate to Michael Bolton in it as my second name is McEnroe, everywhere i go, flights and travelling, its "are you related to John McEnroe?" *me bangs head off wall* i think my favourite scene was where they got the printer and smashed it with the baseball and then Michael started punching it. "Pc load letter, what the **** does that mean!?" hehe

Its such a funny movie....the scene where they beat the sh!t out of the photocopier is brilliant
One of Jennifer Aniston's better films.

i think its a cool movie, printer scene is the best by far.Its cool cos a lot of ppl could probably relate to the characters
Btw its on one of the RTE's at the weekend

Office space was funny but did seem to fade towards the end a bit. Wasn't the main character the actor from The early edition?

Ruu_Old

umm i dont think he is the same guy, i maybe wrong

artvandelay

ur right Ron Livingston was in office space and Kyle Chandler was in early edition. Office space is pretty good, though Mike Judge has done better stuff.

RTE 1, Saturday 23rd at 9:45pm for all who havent seen it, its worth a watch

Thorbar

feck they're the spitting image of each other or do I just have a crap memory? Mind you its been years since I saw early edition.

"PC Load Letter?! What the fvck does that mean?!"

genius.

beretta

wow! so people in the world have actually heard of this film. i thought i was the only one. what an amazing movie. i've watched it over and over, and the laughter begins to hurt after a while.

my favourite parts are when they're talking about the party coming up on the weekend, and the blonde guy from their office starts talking about his "oh" face. "oh! oh!" ("she gets round, dude. like a record."

i also love when they look up money laundering in the dictionary. wow. what a film.

sgarapolo

Ah, beretta, we do have so much in common... and this movie now as well... a work of genius, I work one day a week in an office, and I can't help but ask what PC Load Letter means when it actually comes up on my printer. Wonderful.

beretta

scott, if i didn't know any better, i'd think you were electronically stalking me. haha.

sgarapolo

I wondered why you never let me know where you live... it's all clear.
