Employee of the Month (2006)

For years Zack Bradley (Dane Cook) has been working hard at hardly working at the local Super Club. That's until a hottie named Amy (Jessica Simpson) becomes the new cashier. After discovering she's willing to date the next guy to become "Employee of the Month" Zack takes on current titleholder (Dax Shepard) in a super-smackdown to see who will win the honor - and Amy's heart - in this outrageous comedy that proves you can't succeed at life and love till you get your shift together.Features: Audio commentary (with Dane Cook and Director Greg Coolidge)Behind-the-scenes footage (At Work with Lon (Andy Dick getting into his role))Outtakes (Ad-Libs (the comedy crew going at it))Bonus scene (Alternate Super Club Opening (featuring Eva Longoria as Orientation Director)) System Requirements:Run Time: 108 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: PG - 13 UPC: 031398207092 Manufacturer No: 20709 Product Description

Rental Only

Dane Cook is an amazing comedian (many will disagree), but not so much an amazing actor (not that bad though). Jessica Simpson can sing really great, but again not cut out for acting. The appeal to this movie lies in these celebrities it seems, as the movie hits upon so many cliche's. Maybe the acting looks worse due to poor over redundant roles?

Employee of the Month though truly isn't that bad of a movie. Some spots are actually pretty funny. The whole concept is two employees competing for the desirable girl (obviously Jessica Simpson). In order to do so, one must become employee of the month. Why? Apparently she is attracted to it.

Along the way to achieving his goal, Zack (Dane Cook) meets some odd but friendly people. He gets torn between affection and friends, and ultimately could lead to losing both if he does not balance things correctly. His competitor is the standard class 'A' jerk. The guy who makes you angry from his pathetic attempt at being top dog with a high ego.He's the frequented winner of the employee of the month, and intends to remain this way. For if he becomes it again he gains many luxuries. The relationship between his partner and himself is rather funny.

Just rent the movie, but their are much better movies out currently. July 12, 2008

Where's the exit?

Employee of the Month is probably the worst film with absolutely the worst plot ever! Dax Shepard of Punk'd is pretty good but Jessica Simpson and Dane Cook, oh boy expect bad acting! I can see why this film got trashed by critics, stay far away from this mess. June 24, 2008

Jessica Simpson acting, heck no

This movie has a good premise, but # 1 Jessica Simpson CAN NOT act. The humor was not that funny. there were not any Laugh out Loud moments that I can really recall. Just avoid this movie. this is 2 hours of my life that I may never get back

See Good luck Chuck instead, extremly funny May 17, 2008

Good for a much needed laugh

This movie is a great choice if you simply want a stupid movie that you can laugh about and not have to think too hard about the plot. There are many cliche's and overused jokes, but plenty of new jokes and silly conditions that make this the perfect movie to watch if you need a pick-me-up.

The movie takes place in a BJ's/Sam's Club warehouse store where massive products are sold in bulk. The ever-present typical slacker decides to pick up the pace and try to give the 17-time employee of the month a run for his money over the new girl working the registers.

A definite if you simply need a laugh. May 7, 2008

Funny Without Being Crude

I thought this was a better than average comedy especially considering how many comedies today try to pass off disgusting stunts as comedy. I think this movie spoofs all of those "try to beat the golden boy" kinds of comedy. Dane Cook was at his best in this one as a slacker with a good heart, and Dax Sheperd as the "golden boy" is very funny as the obnoxious head cashier. Shepherd is employee of the month seventeen months in a row at the super store Super Club. Jessica Simpson is a new transfer in and Cook believes the way to her heart is to beat Shepherd and become employee of the month. Andy Dick and Harlan Williams add some more comic relief as fellow employees. All in all I feel this one is a keeper since Hollywood has not been producing many good comedies lately. In addition to this movie being funny for adults and teens there is no scene in this movie that makes you feel disgusted or is disgusting to watch. No one eating anything nasty or any type of disgusting crap. Thanks to those who made this one! April 3, 2008
