Funny for adults who are in the rat race, but not for kids who haven't been there yet and don't understand what the movie attacks.

What Parents Need to Know
About Office Space
Parents need to know that this dark-humor movie is from the mind of "Beavis and Butthead" creator, Mike Judge, and some teens will think it's likewise targeted at them. However, the subject matter of the movie -- dead-end jobs in banal suburban "campuses" with aggravating bosses --makes it more appropriate for young adults who themselves are in their first office jobs. The movie depicts stealing and implied arson. There is strong language, sexual references, and jealous fantasies. A character celebrates a horrific injury, there is an on-screen medical emergency, characters act illegally, and a mistreated character takes drastic revenge.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the sources of humor that this movie draws from, including the stereotypes of different office types (the Pollyanna, the self-important boss, etc.), the hallmarks of suburban culture such as the restaurant where "flair" is required, and the venting of frustrations on a piece of office equipment. If you were hypnotized to not care about what other people thought, would you act differently?

It's a great movie..but not all ages...
This movie is one of the best, it made me laugh, along with my entire family. My kids are 15 and 17, and it was appropriate for both of them. The only thing that was bad was the language, a lot of f words in songs and a couple used by the people, along with alot of other profanily and mixed in with some sexual remarks. There is a VERY BREIF breast nudity and Peter has a dream about his boss having sex with is girlfriend (nothing explicit shown). This is overall a great movie with alot of profanily. But appropriate for ages 14 and up.

Very Funny Film
I saw this when a friend brought it to my house and this was comic genius. This is my favorite comedy of all time(for now), about the downs of work, and the ending was so unique, it was a masterpiece.

funny
this movie was very funny and it has not a lot of sex for a rated R movie but the only issue for sex is that in part of the movie they show a topless woman on t.v.and they have pretty bad language but before you let a kid under 15 watch this movie you better alk how much bad stuff tehy know about

This movie is smart comedy--it realizes that the line between funny and tragic is fine.

Only for those with a certain sense of humor
This is one of those movies that you will either think is hilarious or just not get. The comedy is subtle, and kind of dark. I thought it was hilarious. It's not as bad as CSM makes it out to be. The sexual stuff is not a lot, just a topless woman (very brief), you see a worker visualize sex but it's not explict or anything and it's ment to be funny. There are also sexual reference. The language has some f words, and a song that repeats "Die, m-----f---er,die." I think 13+ is not bad, and the language is the only thing really giving it the R rating.
