The only thing that I can think when reading the negative comments left for this movie is that the people who wrote them have *clearly* never temped. As someone who spent four years of his life wasting away in other people's cubicles, I can tell you with complete authority that this movie gets every mind-numbing, insulting, and degrading aspect of the experience dead on. I suppose you should be thankful if you can't relate to what's going on in this film because it probably means you've never had to tip-toe into some middle manager's office on a Friday afternoon to get a signature on your time card.As for those who think "Clockwatchers" is "dull" or "boring," it's called subtly. Look into it.

This was clearly written by someone who has gone through the mind numbing, soul snatching experience of being a temp. It captures the self-worthlessness perfectly and also the stupidity of modern corporate America today.

I recently saw this movie by accident, on TV. At the beginning I found it very boring, you know, it really portrays what happens in an office; but somehow I started to find it interesting, I don't know, maybe it was the director's intention to make us feel bored and desperate, so that the little moments in the story could catch our attention, I don't know. Well, I have to say that Lisa Kudrow is great, she is really funny, even in this film. Parker Posey is OK and Toni Collette has always something to offer in any movie she appears. I started skeptical but finally, I really liked it.

I think its kind of a known fact that Temp employees get the short end of the rope. Four women, picked to work in office, have their lives taped, where things get rough...OH, thats the tagline to a reality show! Well, anyway, that's what happens here. Parker Posey is everything you wish you could be while working in an office along with her three buddies... When several items come up missing, its these temps that pay the price. This is somewhat of a "9 to 5ish indie film" with Lisa Kudrow at her best! (7) Z.
