Movie Reviews of The Office - Season Three
Movie Review: Hilarious TV show
Summary: 5 Stars
The Office is hilarious. It brings a fun perspective to a not so fun job. Movie Review: DVD's are icing on the cake of increasingly entertaining show
Summary: 5 Stars
At the risk of simply following the crowd of reviews, I think the third season on the Office is when the show managed to break away from the UK version and become a fantastic show in it's own right. The shows in this season grow in the entertainment value until the season finale. But you can read that in the other reviews, what about that DVD's themselves? Commentaries are to be found on most of the favourite episodes, and they are entertaining without being indulgent from both the actors and writers (sometimes, the people are both). The DVD's are worth getting simply for the deleted scenes themselves. Over three hours are to be found, most of which was simply removed for time and are as funny as anything else to be found in the episodes themselves. I still haven't managed to get through all of the features, but highly recommended is the clip from the 2006 Emmy's. To say to much would be to ruin it for those who haven't seen it, but when i first saw it i couldn't contain my laughter. Highly recommended to those who passed over the show when it first came out, it has certainly become a hit in its own right. I eagerly wait the release of season four (and being from Australia, getting the DVD's is the only way I'll be able to watch them at a decent time thats for sure!)Movie Review: Funny for the serious
Summary: 5 Stars
Testamonial:
From Action to Drama to Technical to Obscure, I own half a mountian of DVDs. Very, very little of them, however, are comedy. And yet, all seasons of The Office are among what little comedy I own. I LOVE to laugh, but very little "produced" material gets me there: The Office does.
Movie Review: A Cannot Miss
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD set is a must for any fan of The Office. It has more deleted scenes than any box set I have ever seen and leave you wondering why The Office did not leave them in.
If you are trying to get into this show, start off with Season 1, then Season 2, and then work into Season 3. Although Season 1 was not the best the show has to offer, it builds a base understanding of all the characters and many jokes in the subsequent seasons.
I love this item and have used it over and over again.
Movie Review: A step backwards
Summary: 3 Stars
**SPOILERS**
I know this review won't be popular, but I was very disappointed with Season 3 of "The Office". Other than seeing parts of a few episodes, I missed the show entirely on television and one day borrowed the season 1-3 DVDs from a friend. Over the course of several weeks I watched all the episodes sequentially, and this allowed me to get a feel for how the show was evolving over time. Season 1 was very good, but I got the sense that they were still finding their rhythm. Season 2, however, was fantastic. It had excellent writing and direction, the performers revealed just how well they had been cast in their parts, and they really made you care about the relationships between their characters. I was obviously excited to begin season 3, but was sad to discover half way through disc 1 that much of the magic from season 2 was gone. Michael Scott, who used to induce cringes of discomfort with his ignorant and inappropriate remarks, had been reduced to a mere buffoon who no one took seriously. The Pam-Jim-Karen love triangle fizzled and failed to build on the emotional finish of season 2. The idea that Jan would have any sustained interest in a relationship with Michael was completely unbelievable. Ryan, amusing as the wet-behind-the-ears temp who represented the detached viewers, became merely annoying after B.J. Novak increased his own role in the show. And don't get me started on the pointless expansion of the 'Kelly' character or John Krasinski's silly wig he wears during the last part of the season. Make no mistake - there are still some classic episodes in season 3 such as "Gay Witch Hunt" "Phyllis' Wedding" and "Business School" but there are way too many duds like "Initiation" "Safety Training" "Diwali" and "The Convict" ('Prison Mike' demonstrates how the Michael Scott character devolved from being a misguided but well-meaning dork to a borderline retarded moron). I also wish Ed Helms' role had been better utilized. There was so much potential to create hilarious office dynamics with Andy but they waste it for the most part. I haven't watched any of season 4, but I hear it is more of a return to form. There is a lot to like in season 3, but the humor misses more than hits and that is nothing but a disappointment for a show with as much potential as "The Office".
