Clockwatchers (1997) **

It's hard to make a movie about boredom that avoids being boring itself, but this cynical comedy succeeds quite nicely. It's about four temps employed at a large credit company, where their bosses pretend to care about them and they pretend to care about their work. Parker Posey won an acting award at Sundance for this film (ex-aquo with "The House Of Yes" and "Suburbia").
