Movie Description
Based on the popular British comedy of the same name, THE OFFICE takes place in and around the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Using the same mockumentary style as the original, the series succeeds in capturing the quiet desperation of the poor souls working in this socially stifling environment under the direction of delusional boss, regional manager Michael Scott. Comic actor Steve Carell beautifully inhabits the role, playing a man so eager to be liked, he completely alienates people with one stupid antic after another. Blindly believing himself beloved by his employees for his laid-back nature, Michael fails to see that, with the exception of nerdy and bizarre Dwight (Rainn Wilson), he is resented and despised by all. Meanwhile, Jim woos engaged receptionist Pam, while both navigate the office politics and "humor" of boss Scott. Carell perfectly walks the line between despicable and pathetic, enlisting his audience's sympathies just moments before doing or saying something horribly inappropriate. THE OFFICE may be a remake, but it has charms of its very own.

Credits
Cast:B.J. Novak, Craig Robinson, John Krasinski, Mindy Kaling, Oscar Nunez

Editorial Reviews
"Carell is spot-on...and the show has succeeded in keeping the tone, pacing, and overall awkwardness of the original."
Entertainment Weekly - Dalton Ross (08/19/2005)

"[A] bitingly funny, not wholly unrealistic depiction of workplace idiocy."
Rolling Stone - Peter Relic (09/08/2004)

      Calling skeptical fans of the original series!

    OK, I was a bit concerned when I first learned that an American version of "The Office" was on the way. As a huge fan of the original British series I was very skeptical of this "intruder". However, I started to feel a bit better when I found out that Steve Carell (The 40-Year Old Virgin, The Daily Show) would play the lead. After the first episode finally aired on NBC I was still concerned since it was pretty much an exact clone of the British series but just not as good. However, by episode 2 the series began developing its own identity and I have been a fan ever since.

    <p>I won't go into too much detail and ruin anything, but I would like to point out that Steve Carell is brilliant in the lead role and the supporting players are superb. The shows are well written and there are plenty of "Did they really just say that?" moments. Without hesitation I can comfortably recommend this wonderful series to all!

    Based on the hit BBC sitcom, The Office: Season 1 is the Americanized version of this hysterical sarcastic and funny mockumentary of working life. Steve Carrell wonderfully plays Michael Scot – the idiotic simpleton manager who controls a less-than-stellar group of analysts. Carrell considers himself a masterful academic and manager – and that’s half the fun of it. The other half? The show is shot as a “mockumentary” (think Best in Show, Waiting for Guffman, the BBC Office series, etc) and is part from Correll’s point of view and part from the employees’ point of view.

    If you’ve worked in a cubicle – you will somehow relate to the antics and relationships forged in this show. If you enjoyed “Office Space” – this is the sitcom version – but somehow more sadistic and satirical. If you like the “Meet the Family” make-you-feel-uncomfortable humor, this show thrives on it. If you like Steve Correll, The Daily Show, or The 40 Year Old Virgin, you’ll love The Office.

    And like Arrested Development, The Office takes a little patience and getting used to. Its very different than the traditional Friends sitcoms – it truly strange and that’s part of the fun. So watch a couple episodes, get into the series and you’ll be hooked!
