Office Space

Stop double-taking. You read it right. Office Space is the Netflix Instant movie of the week. This beloved cult movie directed by Mike Judge is a must-see. Don't judge the film based on Judge's history with Beavis and Butt-head... Office Space delivers.

Office Space (1999) was filmed in Austin, TX
The film tells the story of three misfit employees, led by Peter Gibbons (Ron Livingston), who rebel against their boss,  (Gary Cole) during a company downsizing. Peter instigates an embezzlement scheme to take fractions of pennies off of company transactions. Sounds like a solid plan, right?

Wrong. But I won't spoil the hilarity. 

This film comes from a Nine to Five-esque idea but evolves into a hypnotic (pun intended, for those of you who have seen this movie), quirky story about hating your job and giving up. Don't mark this off as another Jennifer Aniston rom-com (she stars as Peter's love interest in the film). She rocks and so does this movie. Rounded out with some of the most INSANE characters I have ever seen, Office Space will not disappoint.

So how do I rate this film? 

LOVED IT. 

Go watch it, everyone. Seriously. Go.

If you're still not convinced, check out the Office Space trailer. But seriously, go watch it.
