Office Space (1999)
Is this funny ? (***spoilers ahead***)

Well at first, it is funny. I caught myself laughing at times, that's right. Basically the first part of the movie describes some true and nasty or boring aspects of office work, with a pinch of humor. The consultant just put a another layer on the top, with a reverse of situation; the hero getting a promotion instead of being fired. But then it collapses. The try to put up a scam on the company and the guy kinda break up with his girlfriend. Finally everybody gets, let's say, right next door doing a slightly different job (but in the same place). And the two lovebirds get together again. Ha! Ha! that's funny to you ? The conclusion is "nothing ever changes", don't try to break the rule or you'll just be criminals, stay in the line and believe that's it's the right thing to do. The funny part is just there to catch on people who work in such offices (as i do). 5 out of 10 because i only lost one hour, the remaining half an hour was worth it.
