About This Movie

So, 'Workload' from '83 is this quirky little gem that dives into the mundane world of an employment agency. You've got Rogers, the beleaguered manager, and Collins, his somewhat oblivious counterpart, caught up in a series of rather unusual events sparked by a malfunctioning typewriter and an eccentric repairman named Lee Stern. The pacing is a bit off-kilter, which adds to its charm, and the humor is dry, almost absurd at times. The film seems to revel in the minutiae of office life, capturing a certain atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and strangely relatable. The performances are solid, with a certain off-beat chemistry that makes the oddball interactions memorable. It's not like anything else from that era, really.

This film has not been widely circulated, making it a bit of a hidden treasure for collectors. There seems to be limited VHS and DVD releases, which adds to its scarcity. Interest has grown over time, particularly among those who appreciate quirky comedies that explore the absurdities of everyday work life. It’s a nice find for anyone who enjoys movies that offer a different perspective on the mundanity of office culture.
