This movie .... kinda sucks

Let's start with the "music" in it. Just god awful.

People talk like this movie is funny because office/cubicle life is just like this. It's *nothing* like this. It never was. The movie has some kinda funny parts, but meh, not that funny.

Why would a fire at the office have anything to do with whether they get caught? It just makes no sense.

Getting frustrated with the copiers or whatever? Meh, kinda cute but - just meh.

I didn't like this movie much the first time I saw it right when it came out. I just rewatched it because I felt sure I must have just missed something or whatever. Nope, it was worse this time. It's just very mundane and, well, anyone who thinks it's some great movie is just a moron.

Just because YOUR office/cubicle life isn't like this (perhaps you're a Bob), doesn't mean others' aren't. I've worked in an office. There are sounds that annoy the hell out of you (Nina). There are pieces of equipment that don't work properly (I have a printer older than this movie that is only still working because of scotch tape - and I have punched it), and when you're trying to do your work and equipment is so crappy that it prevents you from completing the task, it annoys the hell out of you.

So sorry you're better than any of us low-lives who hold hold jobs in offices where a lot of this movie completely rings true.

I think it kinda sucks too. I was excited for it, thinking I was gonna get a lot of John C. McGinley moments, but there really only was one.
I promptly deleted it afterwards.

Haha, the music was the best part! I thought it really added a little something to the quirks of the movie.

"Cute" is such a wrong word for this movie. Also, calling people "moronic" for their opinion about a movie is moronic in itself.
