Office Space

It satirizes work life in a typical software company focusing on a handful of individuals who are fed up with their jobs. The film's sympathetic portrayal of ordinary IT workers garnered it a cult following among those in that profession, but also addresses themes familiar to office workers and white collar employees in general.

 It was filmed in Dallas and Austin, Texas. While not a box office success, the film has become a cult classic; it has since sold very well on video tape and DVD, and some of the movie's dialogue has entered into the popular lexicon since its release and he continued to come in to work and get paid due to a sets fire.

Office Space is based on the Milton series of cartoons created by Mike Judge. Office Space was Mike Judge's foray into live action film and his second full length motion picture release. The last scene of the movie shows that Milton has made his way to a resort in Mexico with the money Peter left in office.

 The promotional campaign for Office Space often associated it with Beavis and Butt-head, leading audiences to expect the brand of humor of the creator's previous animated efforts rather than the relatively low-key ironic humor of the film. It was filmed in Dallas and Austin, Texas.
