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.

lame

this movie was rather lame, which is a shame cuz now i am stuck with it. the previews made it look like it might be funny, so i ordered it. November 23, 2008

Surprisingly funny

When I first heard about this movie, I thought it would be just another idiotic lowest-common-denominator comedy. And to be fair, that's what the advertising painted it as. Well, after watching it on DVD, I had to change my mind. I mean, sure, it wasn't particularly intelligent, but it wasn't trying to be, and it didn't have to be. It was just...funny. And certainly original. I mean, like in every other romantic(ish) comedy, the good guy wins while getting the hot girl, but the setup is interesting, and makes for a lot of comedic moments. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the cast--especially Jessica Simpson--could actually act. It's certainly not for everyone, but if you're looking for a truly entertaining comedy that doesn't overstay its welcome, this is the way to go. June 19, 2007

Incredibly Funny

This is a very entertaining movie about life in a big box store (like Costco) which I'll watch it again, because it was incredibly funny. It's about a character named Zack who has not achieved anything, because he didn't want to. Well, he was through living in the shadow of a guy named Vince, a hot shot who has the fastest fingers on a cash register in the region, plus he has been employee of the month twelve times running, but now Zack wants the honor, because he wants to catch the attention of a beautiful new cashier.

Zack finally lives up to his potential, but in doing so he's left his friends behind, however he did manage to sweep the girl off of her feet and get more stars for employee of the month than Vince. In the end, when things are totally messed up he fixes everything. Also, he has a funny, yet competitive showdown with Vince. As I said above, this is a funny movie and I loved every second of it. I recommend it for people of all ages and hope you enjoy it as much as I did. April 1, 2007

BLUE LIGHT SPECIAL

Frequenters of bulk shopping like Walmart's Sam's Choice will certainly identify with this surprisingly effective comedy.
The story focuses on two employees of a large store who are competing for the coveted employee of the month award. Dane Cook is the reckless box-boy who decides to take the title away from 17time winner Vince, played with smarmy abandon by Dax Shepherd. The reason: the arrival of buxom Jessica Simpson who is surprisingly effective in her role; she even makes fun of her sexy status by showing Cook how big her ears are!
Needless to say, anything goes in the competition and as Cook starts making headway on Shepherd, all hell breaks loose.
The movie is engagingly charming and is to be commended for its limited use of profanity or overuse of sexual innuendo. Cook carries the movie nicely and it's a pleasant surprise all around. February 1, 2007
