El Empleado Del Mes

Really enjoyed Employee of the Month, Its laugh out loud funny in places and the writing and direction are solid, don't get me wrong it's not the comedy of decade but deserves more than 5.5 so felt that I have to write a few positive words.

Zack is a really likable character, well played by Dane Cook but Vince steals the show, a great comic performance, some great lines and situations, the supporting cast are all interesting and likable and are played well especially Jorge, Vinces sidekick and Glen Gary ( or Glen Ross) the store manager who really hams up the part and what's not to like or look about Jessica Simpson?

Well worth and hour and a half of your time.

I was hardly amused when I saw the previews for this movie. It didn't look that good, I'm not that big of a Dane Cook fan (and in no way a Jessica Simpson fan), and I didn't enjoy "Waiting" too much (though I'm not sure how much that relates). This movie has more wit than it knows what to do with, and I laughed out loud numerous times. All the acting was spectacular and I was surprised to find that the writing had equal amounts of humor and heart.

To come into it thinking it was going to be terrible and coming out thinking it was one of the better movies I've seen in a while, I'd say that's an accomplishment. Though its only my opinion of course, check it out if your curious.

Dane Cook is so great; I miss his movies he doesn't seem to be in as much as anymore. One of those type not many appreciated probably cause it's a bit obnoxious and silly in a clumsy way but I love that sort of thing! Fun mindless entertainment that doesn't have to be taken seriously. Also the soundtrack is pretty enjoyable.

Employee Of The Month is just one of those comedy films that actually was fun to watch as soon as you pop it.

Granted there are characters that could have been done with out and no this film will not win any rewards but it is pretty fun.

Employee Of The Month follows the story of Zack (Dane Cook) and Vince (Dax Shepard) as they fight to be Employee Of The Month to try and impress Amy (Jessica Simpson).

Just watching this film it gives you quite the laugh as it is full of clever and funny one liners from Zack and Vince.

It also features a very good soundtrack with songs that were made for the movie.

Dane Cook is really funny in this film and he show case his talents in comedy films plus Dax made that kind of villain that show how much an antagonist he is through the film. Jessica did what she could in the film. Jessica and Dane did work well together in the film.

There are characters you will feel like they shouldn't be there but with Dane, Dax and Jessica in the film you can just forget about the other characters that you don't like in the film.

The film story is really the selling point of course with Dane, Dax and Jessica being the main stars of the film.

With a good story and laugh out moments with good one liners you should enjoy this film.

I give Employee Of The Month an 8 out of 10

I was pleasantly surprised to find this movie was way better then I expected. Some of the humor is a little subtle for what you might expect. One scene I liked was toward the end when the box boy gang is coming down the main aisle with Zack next to the Andy Dick character who can barely see thru his coke bottle glasses. Dick starts veering off to the side and Zack puts his arm out and pulls him back and they continue on as if realigning someones walk is a normal event. The movie isn't intended to reinvent Shakespeare but some of the harsher reviewers seem to judge it in that light. I thought Jessica Simpson was a good choice for her part. Any lack of acting ability fit the part just fine and works. It was a pleasant and funny movie to watch and never resorted to throwing in four letter words just to do it like so many movies will do.
