Work sucks.

Comedy

A depressed white-collar worker tries hypnotherapy, only to find himself in a perpetual state of devil-may-care bliss that prompts him to start living by his own rules, and hatch a hapless attempt to embezzle money from his soul-killing employers.

VIBE

This film feels like a collective sigh of relief for anyone trapped in soul-crushing corporate monotony. It's a hilarious, cynical, and ultimately liberating experience, perfectly capturing the absurdities of office life with a deadpan wit that makes you want to smash a printer. Pure catharsis.
