Like the unrelenting Musack that fills the heroines's offices, Clockwatchers is a bit too sedate. If you don't watch carefully, you'll miss half the fun.

The production design of Clockwatchers is great - brilliant use of almost no money, good performances and nice ensemble.

You just want to shake these four twits out of their collective, weirdly unsubstantiated malaise.
