When layoffs affect his two best friends at work, mad-as-hell Peter Gibbons conspires to plant a computer virus in the company’s system that will embezzle corporate funds into a secret account.
A week or so ago I made an obvious joke that was from this movie to my wife, who didn’t know the joke, and then responded with “Oh, I’ve never seen that” when I explained it was from Office Space. After watching it, I asked her what she thought of one of the best comedies of our generation and she replied “meh”.
She actually said that. “meh.”
My wife gave it the same review, but it was already too late as we were already married. To her credit, she does like 1985’s “Better Off Dead”.
I’ve had a red swingline stapler since the early 2000’s and have taken it from job to job. It’s amazing how many people recognize it.
Get a ‘conscious uncoupling.’
