Stephen Holden New York Times (Top Critic)

It has the loose-jointed feel of a bunch of sketches packed together into a narrative that doesn't gather much momentum.

The movie's dialogue is smart. It doesn't just chug along making plot points.

Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune (Top Critic)

A forgettable, undistinguished movie!

Lisa Alspector Chicago Reader (Top Critic)

The gags about the daily grind and what happens when a drone forgets how to be submissive make for beautifully low-key satire.

So much dull non-humor.

Grasping and aimless!

When Peter actively rebels and is ironically rewarded for his efforts by the head honchos, the picture loses its bite -- what began as discomfiting satire soon devolves into silly farce.

David Edelstein Slate (Top Critic)

A take-this-job-and-shove-it movie about the crushing malevolence of the corporate environment, it's on the verge of being really good.

James Berardinelli ReelViews (Top Critic)

Fails to sustain its comic momentum or high energy level.

Some horrible Monday, why not cut work to see it?

Even if it doesn't up live to its inspired beginning, Mike Judge scores something with all the marks of a workplace cult classic with his first big-screen, live-action outing.

Who hasn't sat at his desk after lunch and spaced out for an hour? Who wouldn't love to march the copy machine into a field and go to town on it with a baseball bat?

Plays like a live-action version of the "Dilbert" comic strip. A smart, funny satire.

If the movie suffers from mild aimlessness and editorial confusion, and it does, those are relatively small speed bumps to endure for such a canny and quick-witted affair.

Um, yeah... why don't you just go ahead and... buy this DVD... That'd be great.

The last half is a disappointment of routine, mildly amusing humor.

Philip Martin Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

The pleasures are mild and offset by irritations, but on balance the movie isn't so bad. You'll laugh, you'll sigh -- you'll look at your watch.

In places I laughed so hard I thought I might throw a diskette.

Mesmo perdendo o ritmo no terceiro ato, o filme faz rir na maior parte do tempo (especialmente em funcao de seu olhar irreverente sobre o cotidiano dos 'pobres' burocratas).

more than a comedy . . . it is an anthem for the downtrodden cube-borgs everywhere, who have had the life and soul stomped out of them by an uncaring corporate entity.
