Much better, actually. The surprising thing was that my wife and I rented this movie along with Wedding Crashers and we watched them both the same night. We ended up turning off Wedding Crashers after too many groan-inducing scenes, but watched Employee of the Month all the way through and laughed at most of the jokes, which was the opposite of what I expected to happen.

Employee of the Month is not what I would call a "good" movie. The acting is mediocre, the plot is very simple and the humor is, at times, crude. And, of course, Jessica Simpson is a horrible actress. But they didn't use her as much more than a pretty face for the the hero and villain to fight over, so I hated her much less than I thought I would. Many of the scenarios are over the top and unbelievable, but I found that to be another joke aimed at the big warehouse chains themselves, not just silly things meant to be funny on their own.

It was a very silly, simple, and (apparently) cheaply made comedy, but one that was enjoyable to watch, nonetheless. I might even recommend it if you are looking for a movie that doesn't require a working brain to understand and find funny.
