Clever funny and accurate if you worked in retail at any capacity .
Employee of the Month (2006): Dir: Greg Coolidge / Cast: Dane Cook, Jessica Simpson, Dax Shepard, Efren Ramirez, Andy Dick: Potential idea about reputation that is reduced to one big absurd mess. Supermarket becomes a great location but under better direction it could have served broader purpose. Dane Cook plays a box boy in constant competition with head cashier and seventeen month top employee Dax Shepard over the affection of new cashier Jessica Simpson. Starts out dumb and only gets dumber right up to its totally lame outcome. Director Greg Coolidge does a half ass job but then again, a little fun with the location might have added some appeal. Cook plays an unsympathetic lout who will obviously grow to care for this girl more than viewers will care for this sh*t film. Shepard overacts constantly as this moron overachiever who obviously has low expectations for himself. Simpson is simply eye candy. Efren Ramirez plays Shepard's dense sidekick who exists to get verbally abused and used as a verbal ashtray by Shepard. Andy Dick is featured to remind viewers that he was funnier providing the voice of the bunny in Hoodwinked. Every bit as lame as that other supermarket comedy waste, Career Opportunities, with just about as few laughs as this idiotic example. Its celebrity promotion proves to be as lazy as its hero is initially, and dies quickly. Score: 2 / 10
Zack Bradley (Dane Cook) is a box boy happy wit his lot at the SupperClub supermarket. Zack once went into business but it failed, he is now happy to be a slacker, popular with his fellow employees as he and his fellow box boys hook up in a cubby hole for a game of cards.On the other hand Vince Downey (Dax Shepard) the head cashier is regularly the winner of the Employee of the Month awards. When a new shapely employee arrives Amy (Jessica Simpson) with a reputation of dating only the Employee of the Month, Zack and Vince go all out to win the award!Dane and Dax go all out to make this movie work, Dane is likable enough as slacker Zack and Dax is oily and fake enough be a thorn on his side but he is made out to be almost a closet gay with his relationship with Jorge, you never buy for a moment that Vince would want to sleep Amy. In fact he is so darn uncomfortable around her he would had been better off dating the store manager who is heavily implied as being gay.Jessica Simpson looks good enough with her cleavage so you never notice her acting. The film is amusing enough if rather predictable, you know that once Zack goes all out for the award his relationship with his boys will become strained. There are some good side characters such as Jorge, Vince's wing man and the two squabbling brothers Glen Gary and Glen Ross.
Read some of the comments and i was PML.... so many people were like... unreal unreal unreal UN REAL! and i am just there like its a comedy what do you expect? i get most of the people on here are either stupid kids or teens who know nothing about the movie industry or how a movie is made... but know we have gone into a new era of ignorance of genre... literally i am disappointed with man kind now... fair enough if you don't find this movie funny naturally then i respect that but if you look at a movie like this which has a blatant image showing of that is going to be quirky and daft and think "hm... this looks like it could be entertaining i mean look how serious and dramatic and well laid out the movies plot is laid out" then i am sorry you are just plain stupid. a comedy is a genre of entertainment that is there to make you laugh through different variations of styles... comedies have never been about the seriousness or realism it has been based of the daftness or the shock or the unexpected actions of a character in a certain situation or to weird you out or see something in a unimaginable way... its not there to create an emotionally engaging story like titanic.. the only comedy i know that was actually an comedy not just a action or drama flick that throws one or two jokes here and there that i am aware f that has won an Oscar is Forest Gumps... i haven't seen any other comedy... proper comedy that has won a Oscar besides that movie... if we carry on as a generation ignorant of genres as well as how hard people actually make movies then i am concerned with what movies people will be able to make these days... its a wonder we have remakes or shitty drama wannabes...
