Colleagues From Hell

About This Movie

So, 'Colleagues From Hell' is this quirky 1989 comedy that you might not expect to see in a standard collection. It's essentially a corporate training video series starring John Cleese, which is both amusing and a bit surreal. The pacing has this odd, almost stilted quality, typical of the late '80s, but it works for the material—think awkward office interactions turned comedic gold. The atmosphere is definitely dry, but Cleese’s performance brings a spark that keeps it engaging. You'll notice some practical effects used in a really fun way, which feels distinct from today's polished productions. It captures that era's corporate culture with a satirical edge, making it a unique piece, whether you find it cringeworthy or laugh-out-loud funny.
