So I watched this today on bluray and I think what astounded me the most about the movie is just how memorable all of the characters are. The cast really is what made this movie hilarious. I will never view Michael Bolton or TGI Fridays servers in the same way now. smile

I think of all the characters in the film, Gary Cole as Lumberg was the most hilarious.

"Um...yeah..." smile

A decent film.

when our laboratory computers or printers have problems we often shout out the film quote, "pc load letter?! what the f**k does that mean?!"

Some of my favorite quotes

You've been missing a lot of work lately Peter.
Well I wouldn't say I've been missing it.

I am people person Damnit can't you understand that!

I'm going to be showing her my OH face!

I'm going to burn the building down.

I'll put Strychnine in Guacamole.

Great movie for anyone who has ever worked in an office cubicle environment.
Especially for software companies like I have for the past 15 years.
I think each one of those characters have been in the offices I have worked in over the years.

It's a movie where I think the parts are greater than the whole. As a story, it doesn't really stand out, but all of the individual characters and observations are great.

Changing lanes into the line of traffic that's moving only to have it stop and the line you just left start going was classic. Plus all the other stuff that has been mentioned. It really nails a lot about the modern world.

That scene was especially funny for me since I have been in that situation countless times in the past driving in this crappy South Florida traffic.

Do you have at least 37 pieces of flair or the bare minimum of 15?

Now I need to see Mike Judge's latest film "Idiocracy".
