Genuine send up of the mundane with a star studded cast a la the reliable genius of Mike Judge
Not as memorable as most of Mike Judge's works but still entertaining
Overlooked gem. Surprisingly hilarious performance from Ben Affleck.
Super simple movie, offbeat humor and style that make it feel unique. Amazing cast putting in work too
Run of the mill B comedy but doesn’t mean it’s bad. Fairly fun premise and executed pretty well.
The cast of this harmless comedy is actually insane
Mike Judge knows how to make me laugh. I’ll gladly watch anything he puts out.
More humorous than not. Affleck steals show in what few scenes he’s in. Would have been better if story elaborated more on Kunis’s character
not as good as office space but has a lot of "characters" that everyone has encountered at one point in time in their life.
The story is stupid, the characters even stupider, and the pacing is confusing. I feel people must be joking when they say they like this.
