Clockwatchers
This gets compared to Office Space, but it is pretty clearly trying to do more than a comic send up of office life. While there are comic elements here and it would be tempting to merely see Collette's Iris as the straight man for the other three key players (Posey as Margaret is very good on this front), the film is just as interested in the way time changes people and relationships. With those changes come a sadness of leaving certain things behind, grappling with and accounting for mistakes, and (hopefully) maturing. Clockwatchers traces these themes well, in a fundamentally light-hearted and comic way.
