Peter Gibbons, thanks to a hypnotic suggestion, decides not to go to work at the same time his company is laying people off.
What makes a film an iconic one? Good acting, good storyline? Nope, that can make a classic film but not an iconic one. In fact, there doesn't have to be anything good about an iconic film, it just has to be carried by fan power. This is exactly what 'Office Space' is.
When I was seeing it, I began to be dissapointed. The music was annoying, the storyline was dragging and it wasn't even that funny.
But when I finished the movie, there was something about it that made me want to see it again. And again. So what made it so brilliant that it had to be watched again? Storyline? No. Laugh a minute? No. It is the undeniable charm that this movie radiated and its the characters that anyone who is forced to work in cubicle hell will relate to. Everyone can point out a character that reminds them of someone in their office, and people who don't work in an office will still be able to fall in love with these colourful and lavishly created people. As proof of this, I loved all these characters, and i'm 14 and have never been anywhere near an american office.
This is not a film with a storyline, this a film with people, people who will easily dominate the screen and will fill your minds for hours after you have seen it. This film is probably the nearest live action version of the cartoon 'Dilbert'
So, I fully recomend you watch, and even if you don't enjoy it and are ready to walk out after a while, I beg you to stick to the end and you will be able to see why 'Office Space' is truly regarded as a classic
