Critic Reviews

  • J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

    There's a great Office Space-style satire to be made about big-box stores screwing their working-poor employees, but Hollywood studios covet DVD rack space at those same stores.

  • Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

    There are people who think Cook is funny, but you won't find any evidence of that here.

  • Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

    There's a crumb of an idea to setting a movie at a mega-mart that makes the Office Space cubicles look like executive suites, but the results in Employee of the Month are toothless.

  • Peter Howell, Toronto Star

    The aggrieved employee movie genre is one of the more puzzling fads of late, since it showcases every vile prejudice and low standard imaginable.

    Dane Cook undoubtely carried this film and made it extremely funny. Jessica Simpson wasn't that bad either.

    This is a pretty funny American comedy suburbia type laughs a go go, with Jessica Simpson and Dane Cook as the eye candy, there are quite a few laughs for you and your friends. I would recommend

    The competition for employee of the month recognition at discount retailer Super Club becomes a winner-takes-all proposition when two clerks go head to head to win the title and the girl, a new cashier who only dates Employee of the Month winners.. cant say it was a winner with me… More
