Reviews for Clockwatchers
You just want to shake these four twits out of their collective, weirdly unsubstantiated malaise.
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.
Complex characterization makes Clockwatchers a far more interesting picture than it would have been as a simple, breezy comedy.
A bold drama about the strange and often outrageous things that happen in the work-a-day world.
The production design of Clockwatchers is great - brilliant use of almost no money, good performances and nice ensemble.
