Impiegato del mese

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
