This is a classic movie and shows the guy behind such classics as "Beavis and Butthead" can do a more long form / live action film as well. Now, there are cartoon aspects to the film -- Milton is a bit of a cartoon, one can imagine him as one in fact -- but this is clearly a live action movie. And, it is a funny one that also says a thing or two about office life and does so years before The Office.
Ron Livingston plays his average schmuck who decides to say "f" it and do what he wants perfectly. The idea is a bit like Jack Black when he is hypnotized to only see the person within. The people who work at the office are also great, the hilarious nature thanks to how perfectly they play the roles. Consider his slimy boss. This is the guy who also played "Mike Brady" in the Brady Bunch Movie and a vice president on "West Wing." So, this was a great bit of acting. Also, Jennifer Aniston is great. It's a bit sad that her charm in such early works seems lacking now.
I took off a couple points since the movie isn't perfect as a whole. The material does seem a bit stretched out in a feature length film. But, that's not a big deal really, especially if you see it on t.v. or whatever. It still is very fun and worth watching.
