Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Before watching it on tv , I didn't have high expectations, but I had nothing to do so I decided to watch it What was wrong with the movie ?(No spoilers)The actors weren't good , they didn't seem to be credible . The plot wasn't well developped, the script was awful , unrealistic , unfunny. More we went further in the movie , I was realizing that the movie is pointless so I stopped watching it before it ends

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.

Enjoyable even if not "super original". Just well done.Shows better development of relationships in the dating scene than most movies.Did notice one hidden thing: The store manager is Glen Gary. His brother is the owner, Glen Ross.This is a tip of the hat to the movie, "Glen Gary, Glen Ross", a realistic and great movie. Notice that the brothers share the same first name but have different last names? I'd watch it again. I liked the way they treated Jessica Simpson, as someone with intelligence. She also is portrayed as a real girl, who can forgive weaknesses and appreciates growth.This is kind of like "Columbo", the series about the detective who finds the minutest of details, foiling the best laid plans of mice and men. Like "Columbo", little things thicken beyond our control and can really mess up someone's plot.

Employee of the Month is actually not a good movie. I'll tell you why. First of all, it supposed to be funny. It wasn't. Secondly, it supposed to be great. It wasn't. And last but not least, it supposed to be a good movie? It wasn't. The movie idea maybe was okay, but the delivery was bad. It's like a cheap entertainment. Like you are going to see a great circus artists but you only see a clown who can't juggle. So many plot holes. So kids stuff. Children should see this one, because they find it entertaining and they may think that's how people work at supermarket. But people like me and you, know how the real work goes. I guess.Dane Cook is the only positive thing about this movie. A funny actor with a fast-paced text. Oh, and there was Jessica Simpson in the movie. Right, she didn't do anything, she just was.Employee of the month equals idiot of the month here. Seriously. This movie is pretty much a waste of time.
