Employés modèles

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.

Keep watching this over and over. Dax Shepard was the real star of this movie.

I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. I laughed at several witty lines, especially one where Zach corrected Vince's grammar, but Vince didn't get it. Even Jessica Simpson didn't bother me because they didn't try to inflate her intelligence; they just made her a rather bland character.

The plot isn't original, but watching Vince pretend he was Tom Cruise from Cocktail made me laugh. When I watch this sort of movie I want to laugh and I did just that. Dane Cook was a pleasant surprise too. I had never seen anything with him. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie even though I didn't think that I would.

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

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.
