Movie Reviews of Head Office
Movie Review: Snoozer with a few high points
Summary: 3 Stars
Many of the so-called stars of the film (Danny DeVito, for example) are cameo characters (in Rick Moranis's case that's a good thing). The writing is lame and aimless for the first good half hour. * SPOILERS * It suddenly picks up when they smoke a joint on the way to the small town factory they're closing down and Jack, fresh out of school, gives them the truth as to why they'e closing down the factory - it's in the company's best interest. Instead of giving the expected PR bull, he basically tells the truth and suddenly much to everyone's surprise, the press is giving him rave reviews and he gets promoted. After that the movie settles back into the boring rhythm and bland writing of the first part of the movie and again it's about as good as taking sleeping medicine until there's a big meeting with central american arms buyers who are supporting the dictators back home, at which point Jack steals the money, escapes and then donates it to the communists - the head of Jack's company tumbles.
The plot synopsis above is actually a lot more interesting than the movie. I turned this off the first time I watched it after about 20 minutes. When I saw all these glowing reviews I thought I'd better try again. And while it does pick up about midway, it more or less settles back into the same low energy writing of the first half and ends Hollywood style. Not a must-see by any means contrary to what reviews here would indicate. Fortunately it's only 87 minutes. Some of those minutes are longer than others.
