i pass this one on the shelf a few time and look at the myriad of huge positive quote ( with tiny name ) on the front and wonder if i be miss something . the other night it be on one of the movie channel and and i tune in . i miss nothing . i must admit that i only watch the first 30 minute . perhaps the movie become comedy gold after that . give the slow and plod pace and complete lack of laughter in the first 30 and i seriously doubt it . the lead character start the movie in classic i do not know how to start my movie style and with a long and tiresome monologue about how he doesn not want to get sue . it not funny . it not even remotely funny . others have comment on the san franclisco bit while ok and a small chuckle the first time he say it . then he grind it into the ground and smile at the camera like it the funny thing ever write . get over yourself . in fact and i think the talk to the camera bit be the reason i instantly dislike the film . don not assume familiarity with your audience . familiarity be _earned_ and much like respect . from there you basically have a fat whiny guy talk in a very effeminate way about his dull life a a temp . i do not realize he jewish while it a discredit to jewish comedian to call this jewish humor . it just unfunny humor . just because youre jewish doesn not mean you have a knack for the comedy . a wasp and spalding gray and do a good job of self analytical humor than this guy and so obviously it not about ethnicity . if one of the bit i have see have work and i might have stick around . but some schlub go on about how much he love the name of the woman he work with and then list them for five long minute and doesn not make a great movie . this be an obvious attempt to capitalize on the popularity of office space . don not let yourself become a victim of target marketing . just say no to haiku tunnel .
