Wolff rating: NOT BAD
Plot summary: Four temps at a soulless office deal with being the bottom of the corporate food chain.
Biased, pithy comments: This movie was fun even as it was evil. When these white citydwellers realize that their office work is pointless and silly, it brings a few laughs and a very quiet cry of horror. One begins to ponder that if this, making copies for businessmen and eating your lunch in the cafeteria, is all there is to live for, why live at all? Lots of good details, from the supply monster, to the immaculately cleaned carpet, and to the style of dress, fill out the movie. Unfortunately, making a movie about the boredom and soullessness of the corporate underside means you have a somewhat boring movie, although rich in soul. You might like it; I liked it but thought it was a little flawed.
