Review of Office Space

Wow, fanboy mania here! Lookit all those tens! Don't get me wrong. Office Space's take on cubicle culture is dead-on hilarious, and the actors are all likable (or hate-able) enough, with Gary Cole fully deserving all the praise he's gotten for his supremely odious 'Bill Lumbergh'. But it's hard to ignore that the niceties of plotting seem to have been severely neglected, even allowing for the more lax standards of modern comedy. The romantic subplot involving Livingston and Aniston's characters seems at best tacked-on, which is bad enough, but worse is the inexcusably lame mistaken-identity twist in the last act. And Judge really *should* have used the darker ending too, where Lumbergh lives on...
