Movie Reviews of The Office: Season Three
Movie Review: Narcissus on Parade!
Summary: 5 Stars
The writers have hit their stride again in the third season, after some second year doldrums. The plots are engaging, the characters amusingly horrifying, the laughs frequent. Mike and Dwight can still make me shudder, even though I know in advance that they will do or say something horribly inappropriate. This is usually followed by a pause, while everyone looks at the camera. It is a strange mix between sitcom and documentary, but it works.
The turning point for me was the Dwight Shrute music video. It is tucked away in the extra material, and you simply should not miss it. Words cannot describe this....thing.
As each character stumbles through life, they go to ridiculous extremes. Eventually all of their flaws are exposed, their pain revealed. This is a comedy, but sometimes it is so sad that you feel guilty for laughing. The characters are so self absorbed that they cannot even console each other. Their suffering is done in solitude, even if it is public solitude. Still, I couldn't stop myself from laughing out loud. It is over the top, but it is a lot like life in America today. This is the age of Narcissus, and The Office is all about us...isn't it?
Movie Review: Another Laugh Out Loud Season for The Office
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoy The Office so much, that I've added it to my TV DVD collection...in which only 2 other shows are a part of. There aren't many shows that I can watch over & over, but this show is one of them. Bad mood, long day, bored? I flip on The Office!
Season 3 was a different season, as we watched Jim go to another branch and we met some new employees/characters there. But, while at first I was skeptical, by the end of the season I really enjoyed the new additions to the cast. I also enjoyed a bit of the break in the monotony...I mean I love the Scranton branch, but only so much can happen, this brought in some new storylines to liven things up and keep the show fresh for viewers.
If you like The Office, I recommend buying a DVD, like I said, it's great to flip it on to a favorite episode when you're bored or bummed out. Laughter is the best medicine, and how many shows out there lately can make you laugh out loud?? If you haven't watched the show yet- I recommend starting with Season 2, Season 1 was a bit slow...so you may want to skip to the good stuff.
Cheers to the cast and writers of this show, keep up the great work!!
Movie Review: Almost as Good as Season 1 & 2
Summary: 5 Stars
Season 3 of The Office continues with it's high quality comedic formula. There are no punch lines, no laugh tracks, just off the wall funniness throughout every episode. One could watch an episode multiples times and notice something new. Steve Carrell's character, supervisor Michael of Dundler Mifflin, a paper company, has changed over the years to be less sexist, racist, and prejudiced. Dwight, the overly serious employee is still the same character you fell in love with, and the Pam and Jim drama has gone up a notch. Jim actually is transferred to another branch but in a hilarious turn of events is sent back to his home branch. Overall Season 3 of the Office is just as good as the first 2 and if you liked them you should pick it up in a heartbeat. I find it to be one of the best shows on TV currently, not to mention the funniest. If you enjoy offbeat humor with no laugh track like I do, you will enjoy The Office. I think the DVDs are very high quality in terms of video quality, the picture looks amazing on my HDTV.Movie Review: Perfect

The Office - Season Three
"The Office" is an overload of talent. The mix of intelligent writing with random improvisation makes the show a release from overly-scripted, trying-much-too-hard-to-be-.. television. The content on the DVD's make it worth buying what could otherwise be freely recorded or downloaded episodes. The deleted scenes are air-time deserving and cut for no other reason than time. The commentaries are ammmmmmazing. I mean, these people are on the spot interesting. Plus, there are always the extras that the writers add such as the Toby Wraparounds and "Kevin Cooks Stuff in the Office." I can't even look at pudding without thinking crème brūlée. And, of course, a blopper reel. NBC is doing a great job with their line up and definitely kicking ABC and its distorted definition of ugly in the teeth.
Movie Review: Steve Carell does it again
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say about one of the most popular shows on television? Season 3 of The Office picks up right where Season 2 left off, continuing to deliver stellar comic performances. The introduction of the Stanford branch office of Dunder Mifflin adds such great characters as Ed Helms to the cast, as the "preppy freak" who "went to Cornell...ever heard of it?" We also get to witness the tragically hilarious breakdown of Jan Levinson, as she turns from the woman in charge to the cosmetically-enhanced emotional mess who, unbelievably, chooses Michael to be her rock. Jim and Pam continue their romantic game of cat and mouse, with Jim's new girlfriend Karen there to add a little spice to the equation. And of coruse, Michael never fails to dissapoint. His good-natured ineptitude leads to such wastes of time as a bird funeral, and a trip with the girls of the office to Victoria's Secret to celebrate Women's Appreciation Day. Two thumbs up!
