Head Office

In this satirical comedy, a young, ambitious executive named Meryl is hired at a large corporation with the promise of a rapid promotion. However, she soon discovers the company's inner workings are a bizarre and cutthroat environment. Meryl must navigate a labyrinth of office politics, eccentric colleagues, and ruthless competition to survive and succeed.

Head Office received a mixed to negative reception from critics and was largely a box office disappointment. While some praised its satirical aims and comedic performances, many found the humor to be juvenile and the plot to be unfocused. It has since gained a small cult following for its peculiar portrayal of corporate absurdity.

• The film attempts a sharp satire of corporate culture but often misses the mark.
• Some found the performances amusing, particularly Judge Reinhold's.
• The plot is considered thin and the humor too reliant on slapstick and silliness.

Google audience: Audience reception data from Google Reviews is not readily available, but contemporary reviews suggest a divided audience, with some appreciating the dark humor and others finding it nonsensical.

The film was an early directorial effort for Ken Kwapis, who would go on to direct episodes of popular television shows like 'The Office' and 'Parks and Recreation,' and films such as 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants'.
