A few months ago I read an article about this film and how it all but went nowhere in the theater and then slowly turned into a smash cult phenomenon after it was released on DVD. Writer/director Mike Judge (who also played Jennifer Aniston's boss in the film) and actor Ron Livingston expressed surprise at the number of people coming up to them with tales of how much this film meant to them.
Ron Livingston sorta reminds me of Bruce Campbell. Yeah, Office Space changed my life. I didn't see it in the theater. Saw it on rental, then got my own copy. Great writing, great characters. An inspirational story. Love it.
