Finally someone takes a look at the world of the temp. The "undead" of the corporate world - we belong, but we don't belong. We exist in the netherworld between employee and welfare recipient. "Clockwatchers" follows four gals (guys would never be caught dead as temps, right?) temping for a generic company USA. Terrific insights into our world are the film's hallmark. There are however, long stretches of silence, which, while absolutely true to real temp life, are a bit disconcerting in a movie. Laughs are forsaken for character and it is often an uneasy mix. Colette and Posey are standouts. For belly laughs, though, stick to Mike Judge's recent cinematic spin on office life - coming soon to a video store near you.
