Movie
description |
-Steve
Carell
Based
on
the
popular
British
comedy
of
the
same
name,
THE
OFFICE
takes
place
in
and
around
the
Dunder
Mifflin
Paper
Company
in
Scranton,
Pennsylvania.
Using
the
same
mockumentary
style
as
the
original,
the
series
succeeds
in
capturing
the
quiet
desperation
of
the
poor
souls
working
in
this
socially
stifling
environment
under
the
direction
of
delusional
boss,
regional
manager
Michael
Scott.
Comic
actor
Steve
Carell
beautifully
inhabits
the
role,
playing
a
man
so
eager
to
be
liked,
he
completely
alienates
people
with
one
stupid
antic
after
another.
Blindly
believing
himself
beloved
by
his
employees
for
his
laid-back
nature,
Michael
fails
to
see
that,
with
the
exception
of
nerdy
and
bizarre
Dwight
(Rainn
Wilson),
he
is
resented
and
despised
by
all.
Carell
perfectly
walks
the
line
between
despicable
and
pathetic,
enlisting
his
audience's
sympathies
just
moments
before
doing
or
saying
something
horribly
inappropriate.
The
second
season
is
even
better
than
the
first,
with
several
romantic
storylines
getting
into
full
swing
in
episodes
like
"Email
Surveillance,"
"Sexual
Harassment,"
and
"Booze
Cruise.".
THE
OFFICE
may
be a
remake,
but
it
has
charms
of
its
very
own.
SEASON
TWO
contains
all
22
episodes
from
the
season.
