Just watched this on Wednesday. Funny stuff! I especially like the names of some of the characters, like Frito Lay Pendejo and President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho.

In the film, a Gatorade-like drink called "Brawndo The Thirst Mutilator" has taken the place of water and comes out of drinking fountains and is used for irrigating crops. Water is still used, but only for flushing toilets.

I remember not digging this as much as Office Space when I rented it. Maybe I should give it another shot.

I like it, I think it's sorely under rated, not really as good as Office Space, but still damned good.

I never even compared it to Office Space though. I really liked it for the mediocrity rises to the top.

As I was watching the movie, I kept thinking about Kurt Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergeron." They are very similar.
