Two chauvinistic tire salesmen plot revenge against a brown-nosing colleague who demotes them both to secretarial positions after becoming the new boss. Rodney (Michael Vartan) and Mike (Sean Astin) always put more work into harassing their geeky coworker (David Cross) than selling tires. But when their boss drops dead at a local strip club, the target of their torment becomes the new head executive - and his first order of business is to make Rodney and Mike administrative assistants. Meanwhile, after enduring endless humiliation and fetching countless cups of coffee, two pranksters begin plotting their revenge. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
I'm a fan of David Cross's comedy and his character on Arrested Development. That along with an interesting and funny trailer made me rent this movie.
However, I was disappointed to find out that David Cross did not play a lead role and the lead actors weren't very funny or able to carry a strong story. So yeah, pretty much everything that was funny was in the trailer and played out in the first 10 minutes of the movie.
Everything else was like the movie fell off a cliff in a very quick descent to the point where I couldn't bear sitting through to the ending.
Good acting, but this one's not for the kiddies. The effort to raise male awareness and empathy for demeaning treatment women often endure in the workplace is lost in a gush of foul language, low-brow sexuality and frat-boy pranks and payback.. The main characters grew more mature. But once you've seen "Office Space", films like this just don't cut it.
