Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
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.
This isn't a great movie. It's actually a really lame premise that a box boy (or man in this case) in a super store who lives with his grandmother and doesn't own a car tries to woo the hot new cashier. However, for some reason i enjoyed it, at least most of it. I don't really even like Dane Cook but i thought he was pretty good in this movie. The issue is with Dax Sheppard, his character was super lame and weird. It's the type of movie that's totally predictable from the opening scenes - the main character loser will end up getting the new girl.6.5/10 Overall, this movie will not blow you away. If you don't like Dane Cook, don't even bother watching this but i found it to be quite humorous/good at times, albeit boring and stupid at times too.
Employee of the Month had the potential to be a decent comedy, however the entire movie was just pointless and unfunny.I can't put my finger on what did the filmmakers did wrong. The plot and the humour was very ineffective. Perhaps the movie was trying too hard to be funny, but nothing seemed to work at all.I have nothing against Dane Cook, Jessica Simpson and Dax Shepard but surely they could have done better.To sum up the entire review, the movie was absolute crap. I left after 20 minutes before the end of the movie as I did not care for how this pointless movie ended.Though some people found this funny, a majority of people did not care for this movie at all. I agree with the latter.1/10.
I didn't expect much from this movie, and for the most part I didn't really get much out of this movie. It isn't a terrible movie, it just isn't a good one either. Everything about this movie is just way to formulaic and narrow, where almost everything about it is predictable and not funny. The movie did have very slight moments that I slightly found myself not hating this movie entirely. There is just nothing witty about it and none of the characters really stood out, Dane Cook wasn't bad and wasn't all that good either in this. The whole thing about this movie was just...Eh. And that is about it, nothing really memorable and nothing really witty or clever either. It just feels like it took few aspects of other comedic films and mashed them together a bit in the most formulaic and narrow way possible.5/10
