"I would prefer not to."
Great dark comedy starring Crispin Glover from Willard
and Joe Piscopo from........didn't he disappear in 1985?
Bartleby gets a job and starts off being very helpful
and is a great employee. One day he snaps, and refuses
to do anything his boss asks him to do, which leaves for
a bunch of funny scenes and weird twists in which the boss
must figure out what to do with his employee who 'prefers
not to'.
This movie is based on a Herman Melville story called
'Bartleby the Scrivener'.
