the only problem with this movie is the fact that it shares the same name with a dane cook movie. this movie is great the other one not so great. acting great, plot great, its just a amazing underground movie that no one has ever heard of. September 27, 2008

Was this Steve Zahn's film?

I ask only because he was the one who really made this film funny. Also, the short, but memorable appearance of the gorgeous Jenna Fischer (The Office), as Whisper, the call-girl. Great story line of immorality, deception, misdirection and eventual double-crossing criminals. I kind of sneaks up on you.

Good work by Matt Dillon as David Walsh, the banker with a "Performance Review" bad enough to get him fired. Christina Applegate, as his fiance Sara Goodwin. Andrea Bendewald as Wendy; David's banking co-worker and Sara's Maid-Of-Honor that David's screws, and who ends up screwing David in the end.

But most of all, kudos to Steve Zahn as Jack/Wyatt, who's pilfering of jewelry from corpses of accidents, his outrageous homophobic remarks to David's unlicensed dentist, Eric (Dave Foley - NewsRadio) and his gay friends, and a sexual liaison with an under-age stripper, really put this weird movie over-the-top.

This 16 seeded movie just made the Elight Eight.

Sorry for the corny sports metaphor, but this film is one of the more underrated movies I've seen this year. Employee of the Month, a film that borders along the outskirt territories of film noir and the lowlands of dark comedy, resting somewhere between and finding a new niche as a classic example of why independent films are often the sweetest things since Raquel Welch's thighs.

Our plot seems pretty simple: we have a fast-rising banker named David Walsh (Matt Dillon) losing his job at the hands of an arrogant, bottom-line bank manager who cares little-to-nothing for those who work under him. Walsh then begins a hybrid plan of enacting revenge, but soon it becomes clear to the viewer that nothing is as it seems, wherein all parties are capable of betrayal and murderous ambition.

A very clever film that is funny enough to keep you watching, and intriguing enough to keep you guessing.

Wow.......

A complete mind****. Both very funny and extremely dark. Great ending too. It's clearly supposed to be over the top, guys, like the rest of the movie is. It's a great movie and I'm amazed it didn't get a theatrical release. Some things push it, (not a fan of the scene in the ambulance,) but overall this finds the perfect balance between comedy and darkness. It's easily among the best dark comedies I've ever seen and is definitely recommended. Great casting, too. February 19, 2008
