Does anyone know where this movie was filmed? I live in dallas and much of the scenes look alot like dallas, or at least austin. The weird thing is one of the apartment kitchens looks exactly like mine so i got to wondering if they filmed it in my complex..lol Probably not but nonetheless amusing
They sure did film it in Texas.
Go HERE (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0151804/locations) to see.
Most films on the IMDB have the text that says, "filming locations" in small print along the left hand side of the screen.

Thanks Ash, i didn't think to check there. Some of those locations looked familiar so I wish there was a way to know exactly where in Dallas. Because the area of town i live in is really, or was at that time anyhow, very IT companies. I'm right near EDS where there's basically alot of corporate offices and a slew of apartments.
I think the whole feel of it, perhaps because of location and the similiarity in apartments as well as my job makes me relate to it more. Sad but true!

Plus you gotta remember that director Mike Judge sets and films most of his stuff in Texas.
Take King of the Hill for example.
Richard Linklater also films pretty much exclusively in Texas.
If you liked Office Space, then check this site out:

check out the TPS clip.
Its a great clip, using audio from Office Space and footage from the Justice League, quite funny
Ash - right, i have a theory King of the Kill is based in garland..lol Have they ever said where they live on that show?
On King Of The Hill, they say they live in Arlen, which I'm fairly sure is fictional.
I think Belton, one of the teams they play in football, is a real town though. It's in or around the Waco area if I remember correctly.
I think just about every place in the Mike Judge universe is set just outside Dallas, though I heard him say once that Boomhauer was based on some guy in Oklahoma City.
I was just thinking about this today and I found this page on Google:

It seems that it was filmed at an apartment complex (AMLI) in Great Hills, just north of downtown austin. Flip through the pictures to see more filming locations in Austin... I like the one of BankOne -> Chotchkies.
Ben,
Thanks that was interesting. I'd be interested to know which scenes were filmed in Dallas as well. I wonder if the inside of all apartments shown in the movie (as there were distinctly two) were austin apts. The kitchen layout doesn't seem typically AMLI style. My brother lives in austin and might enjoy some of these references!
