Bartleby is everything you would expect from a movie starring Crispin Glover.  In a word, quirky.  Sometimes hilarious, always interesting, Bartleby is a good way to spend 90 minutes.  It's off the beaten path from traditional comedy, and it has some seriously funny moments.

Ultimately, this movie is a commentary on the meaningless existence of millions of workers, but if you think too hard about that, it might just depress you.  Better to concentrate on the comedy.  I, on the other hand, provide joy to people throughout the world with my website, so ... ah heck, who am I kidding.

When the boss asks Bartleby to help him wrap a present.  Glover is comedically genius for about 10 seconds.
