The Office (TV Series) Threat Level Midnight (2011) User Reviews

One of the best episodes of the entire series.

[lmaocarrots · 10/10 · 17 February 2011]

This episode of "The Office" had a much different style to it. It still kept the documentary feel perfectly, but it was slightly more obvious comedy. With that said, it is probably the most I've laughed at any episode of "The Office" (And I've seen them all). The in show-movie "Threat Level Midnight" was hilariously done, and was even funnier then I expected it to be based on the screenplay episode. People will still complain about this episode, because people always complain about every episode of the new season, but I laughed throughout and it had nice (short-term) nostalgia to the old episode. Every character's character in the movie is hilarious and Toby's role in the movie is classic. If your a fan of "The Office" and have been waiting for THE great episode of the season well here it is.

A Risk

[conorlawrenson · 10/10 · 14 June 2019]

An unusual episode that would leave non-US Office fans confused but this episode was for the fans, caricaturing the already caricatured actors into a home movie. These unique episodes don't alway payoff, thinking back to the episode of flashbacks last season, but this one had me laughing the entire way through. Puck off, Goldenface!

Threat Level Midnight (#7.16)

[ComedyFan2010 · 10/10 · 25 January 2019]

Michael is finished with his movie and everyone is watching it.

Great, great episode. So many fun moments in this movie. We see old characters again. And in great roles, such as Jim as Goldface and Dwight is even playing a robot.

Michael Scott stars in a true master piece.

[michaelearpro · 10/10 · 15 April 2020]

In this magnificent performance, a true classic that has shaken the silver screen to the ground, we see Michael Scott play Michael Scarn, a retired spy who's wife was killed in tragic circumstances by Golden Face. With many plot twists and innovative movie techniques as well as ground breaking musical scores this is truly a movie that cannot be missed.

CLASSIC!

[scottwilliam-11107 · 10/10 · 10 August 2020]

I had more 'LOL' moments during this episode then 99% of any movie comedy I've ever seen!

The Best Michael Scott Episode

[enzotadah · 10/10 · 9 December 2019]

I normally don't like Michael even though he is the main character, but I like that he made an action movie with a good plot, and the fact that he has a soulmate.

Learned how to do the Scarn

[Pruikhoofd · 10/10 · 26 August 2021]

One of the best (if not the best) episode of the whole series.

Micheal finally finished the movie he had been working on for years, called Threat Level Midnight. In this episode he shows it to his co-workers, and man, is this episode funny.

Absolute classic, will definitely make you laugh and you should really check out the full movie on YT.

Overall 10/10.

Come on

Do I really need to explain why this is a masterpiece?

From a non-office fan

[dmyrwood · 25 March 2021]

I am not an fan of the office but I finally checked out this episode and okay this one was golden! A good mix of homemade movie,documentary and James Bond parody. I think we all have that one homemade movie that we made with our friends at one time so makes it much more relatable. And the way the office workers react to the movie and the editing and effects in the movie itself is so accurate! So of the episodes I have seen of this show this one is probably my favorite!;)

Fantastic!!!

[annamp-89146 · 10/10 · 8 April 2021]

A great job by Steve!! Great skating skills as well!!!

Very entertaining and everyone does such a great job!!

I agree, it's one of the best show of the series.

Three words. BEST. EPISODE. EVER.

[typetodd · 10/10 · 15 January 2021]

There's nothing more that needs to be said. End of.

Amazing!

[jameswoodward-44901 · 10/10 · 10 April 2021]

The acting, the action scenes, the suspense! This is the best movie ever.

Worst episode of the entire series.

[Robosharp · 2/10 · 24 August 2022]

I'm stunned this one has such positive reviews. There is so much wrong with this episode. My biggest gripe is how professionally 'Threat Level Midnight' is filmed. It's filmed with the same professalism as The Office it's self, like Michael hired NBC to film it. It should have been shoddy, hand cam stuff, which for me would have been a lot funnier.

My other gripe is how all his staff were so on board with the project. They pretty much reject all of Micheals plans in the previous 6 seasons, so I find it hard to believe they would all happily take part in his movie and ridiculous script.

The episode just doesn't fit in the dynamics of the show and for that reason, I think it is the worse one.

Best movie ever made

[karthikeyan-72763 · 10/10 · 24 January 2021]

Every bond film ever written should beg in from of threat level midnight, period.

A movie that would have you grip tightly in your seats

[kshitijsabale-38251 · 10/10 · 11 April 2021]

Speechless....the way Scarn got his confidence back...simply phenomenal.

the best thriller i ever saw in my whole life time!!!!!!!!!

[vssvms · 10/10 · 17 March 2021]

What a movie!!!!!!!Really it's the best hollywood crime thriller i ever sawe in my whole lifetime....direction ,screenplay,music aactors (especially Scarn),every thing was top notch......watched it more than 20 times...don't miss this

Jumping the shark

[simon-harris-205-260572 · 1/10 · 23 July 2020]

The most implausible episode ever produced. Much of the humour in The Office is an exaggeration of characteristics we recognise in people we know, and the realism of the situations. This doesn't fit. I always skip it on my box set.

Wretched Comedy

[film_poster_fan · 1/10 · 12 November 2021]

Although a supposedly comedic episode, no laughs are to be found in this poorly written half hour of television. The acting is atrocious and the direction is almost nonexistent. As one is watching it, one starts to wonder, "did anyone think this through?" Of course, BJ Novak wrote this episode, but did someone else read the script thoroughly and comment that this does not make any sense? Apparently not, which is too bad since this is a complete waste of time.

Michael's Movie

[vivianla · 14 January 2021]

Michael tells Holly he has nothing without this movie. He has a book published and a TV show but that is it.

They play the movie and the whole office enthusiastically cheers. Michael looks like as if he was in an old Hollywood film and Catherine Zeta-Jones is his wife.

Jim is Goldenface, Darryl is the president, Dwight is his robot. It seems Michael has put together inspiration from other films. He shows off his skating skills and chokes Oscar in the locker room. They filmed the hockey game scene during an actual high school boys' game.
