Office Space

(Fox)

Mike Judge, creator of TV's Beavis and Butt-head and King of the Hill, turns surprisingly civilized in his first live-action feature. Ron Livingston is lost in the partitioned rat-maze of Initech and bedeviled by passive-aggressive boss Gary Cole -- but after a hypnotherapy session gone wrong, our hero ignores his superiors, seldom shows up, hits on cute waitress Jennifer Aniston, and starts to be seen as management material. Apologies to those who expected to find this in the video stores when we listed it two weeks ago: the release date got pushed back.
