Office Space, a knowing, somewhat slight, often hilarious sendup of cubicle culture, exploits the yuks in the chronic misery of those routinely exposed to the monotonous gray of corporate minds and company decor.
Rita Kempley, Washington Post

The more you peer beneath the surface humor of Office Space the scarier and more serious its vision of contemporary existence becomes.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Fresh
A hilarious knockdown of corporate culture.
Michael Sragow, New Yorker
Rotten
Office Space feels cramped and underimagined. I think Judge is capable of making an inspired live-action comedy, but next time he'll have to remember to do what he does in his animated ones -- keep the madness popping.
