Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

MovieJuice There are many bad ratings for Employee of the Month, but I beg to differ with them. Yes the plot here is very cliché and predictable, but it is how it is executed that makes this a very funny comedy. The characters are hilarious and are acted well. Perhaps the exception to this is Jessica Simpson; she just seemed too stiff and always looked like she was racking her brain for her next line. But let's face it; she is not in the movie for her acting skills wink wink. There is a great cast of comedic actors including, Dane Cook and Dax Shepard who play the main characters. They run the show with their witty and offbeat humor. The supporting cast only adds to the laughs, especially Andy Dick playing a nearly-blind optometrist. Just the way he looks in those glasses is enough to make you crack up! This type of comedy might not be for everyone as it is a bit on the raunchy side, but I found it enjoyable. Some of the scenes are over the top and a few are just downright ridiculous, but overall this is a laugh-inducing 5 star flick. I hope this review was helpful. -MovieJuiceI wrote this on Mon May 18 2009 for another site.

Prismark10 Zack Bradley (Dane Cook) is a box boy happy wit his lot at the SupperClub supermarket. Zack once went into business but it failed, he is now happy to be a slacker, popular with his fellow employees as he and his fellow box boys hook up in a cubby hole for a game of cards.On the other hand Vince Downey (Dax Shepard) the head cashier is regularly the winner of the Employee of the Month awards. When a new shapely employee arrives Amy (Jessica Simpson) with a reputation of dating only the Employee of the Month, Zack and Vince go all out to win the award!Dane and Dax go all out to make this movie work, Dane is likable enough as slacker Zack and Dax is oily and fake enough be a thorn on his side but he is made out to be almost a closet gay with his relationship with Jorge, you never buy for a moment that Vince would want to sleep Amy. In fact he is so darn uncomfortable around her he would had been better off dating the store manager who is heavily implied as being gay.Jessica Simpson looks good enough with her cleavage so you never notice her acting. The film is amusing enough if rather predictable, you know that once Zack goes all out for the award his relationship with his boys will become strained. There are some good side characters such as Jorge, Vince's wing man and the two squabbling brothers Glen Gary and Glen Ross.

badajoz-1 Generic, not terribly original, but harmless and gives a few good laughs where other concept movies (eg Skyfall) flounder. An old story of a played out, seeming loser, falling for a gorgeous girl, and, having to win her despite the evil machinations of an arrogant, successful rival - all worked out in the melange of a large supermarket. There are some sharp observations about such institutions, but does not waver into outright parody, some funny character interest,(but not all successful, especially the hero's slacker mates), some comic jokes at US corporate life and a romcom relationship that meanders to a successful end, despite Jessica Simpson only managing to match Jennifer Aniston's bland screen persona and performance standard. The acting mostly is okay, and the direction not showily competent. The plot line is the race for 'Employee of the Month' in the superstore between hero and villain, because it is reckoned that Jessica Simpson will hit the sack with the winner ( Hollywood misunderstanding of Ms Simpson's feminist sensibilities!), so the race becomes very competitive. Good harmless fun!

Chrysanthepop On face value, 'Employee of the Month' looks pretty bad and after seeing it, it's not that great of a movie by any means but it isn't as terrible as it looked. It doesn't have anything new to offer but some of the jokes work well and the sequences with Cook and Shepard competing against each other do make one chuckle. It's certainly forgettable but can be enjoyed in parts (for a one time watch). The actors playing Zack's friends were very annoying especially Andy Dick. It doesn't help that they're given terrible lines. Zack's grandma is the funniest character. Dane Cook is quite likable as the competing employee but it is Dax Shepard who steals the show as the obnoxious arrogant employee of the month who takes an awful lot of pride in himself. Jessica Simpson's role doesn't require much except for her to look good. She seems to compensate for any shortcomings by giving the viewer more than a glimpse of cleavage...on multiple occasions throughout the film. Tim Bagley is funny as the boss. Overall, it's a silly film that doesn't require more than a one time watch.
