I've heard The Office is great - it's on my Netflix list and I can't wait to see it. I lived in England for 6 months a number of years ago and have been hooked on Britcoms ever since. I'm curious how you find the plot to Office Space intrusive. Do you mean that it's a bit contrived, like a string of bits and not a cohesive film? If so, you've got a point. But for me, the premise, setting, and writing make this film absolutely outstanding. Eric Berlin Dumpster Bust: Miracles from Mind Trash http://dumpsterbust.blogspot.com

yeah, Office Space rules, although i do think the plot feels intrusive. It's not as good as The Office though, since it was given 12 episodes and a christmas special for to wring every ounce of humour from the situation. For an hour and a half long flick, though, Office Space still rules.

That's too bad that Judge turned down a sequel, though too often bad sequels sour a brilliant original (see: Matrix 2 & 3), kind of like an aging superstar athlete who holds on for those four or six extra years. I agree, though: Office Space is an underground classic. I was a huge Livingston fan prior to this movie, and he certainly doesn't disappoint. I have to disagree regarding Milton: I found his moments in the film to be amongst the least interesting. Lumburgh's my man as far as stand-out roles goes. Classic performance.
