OFFICE SPACE Screening at Schlafly Bottleworks October 5th
“Looks like you have a bad case of the Mondays”
“If they movie my desk again I’m quitting”
“I’m going to need you to come in on Saturday, and also come in on Sunday too”
“Are you related to the Michael Bolton?”
There are so many famous quotes from OFFICE SPACE, which screens Wednesday October 5th at Schlafly Bottleworks (7260 Southwest Avenue Maplewood, MO 63143) as part of Webster University’s Award-winning Strange Brew Film Series. The movie starts at 8pm.
If you are working for a big company, especially if you are in software business, you will find yourself in OFFICE SPACE, an irreverent comedy from 1999 starring Ron Livingston and Jennifer Aniston that makes fun of the inanities of work–particularly in a cubicle-ed office where the bosses are morons (not that any of us have ever worked in such an environment, mind you). The film is made up of lots of odd but relatable personalities and the characters are all funny and memorable. The story centers around Peter Gibbons, an office drone who is very fed up with his job – sick of his 9 bosses pointing out small mistakes, doing the same routine every day, the annoying coworkers and of course those pointless TPS reports, job inspectors, faulty printers and especially those damn staplers!
Written and directed by Mike Judge (who also wrote the Saturday Night Live “Milton” shorts the film is based on), OFFICE SPACE is an uproariously funny and sharp comedy that jumps down the throat of both office and everyday life so precisely that it’s impossible not to relate to it even if you’ve never weathered a single day in a cubicle.
OFFICE SPACE is one of the all-time great comedies and you’ll have the chance to see it on the big screen when it plays Wednesday October 5th, at Schlafly Bottleworks (7260 Southwest Avenue Maplewood, MO 63143). The movie starts at 8pm and admission is $5. A yummy variety of food from Schlafly’s kitchen is available as are plenty of pints of their famous home-brewed beer.
