Bland and gray, Corner Office is a droning corporate satire that buries Jon Hamm (and our interest) in tedium. aurora_amidon's review:
is heavily concerned with satirizing office culture, it doesn’t actually bother to say anything meaningful about it. Yes, it’s dystopian that Orson’s wildest dreams involve a room that helps him work harder. Yes, the fact that we never learn what The Authority, Inc. actually does is a worthy commentary on the mundanity of a nine-to-five. But that cleverness never amounts to anything more than cleverness for cleverness’ sake.feels like 100 minutes of treading water.
But instead of helping bring us into the film’s dystopian world, the lack of visual appeal simply makes for a more monotonous viewing experience.doesn’t add much to the equation. Orson—or as I like to call him, Don Draper if he never got his big break—is smug, mustached and conniving, and Hamm, while doing the best he can with his characters’ stilted dialogue, plays him like a one-note throwaway side character.
