Employee of the Month Reviews

Somehow, I thought this movie could be decent. I seriously don't know why I thought so but I did. Well, all I can say is that I was seriously disappointed. The first issue with this flick is that the two main male characters were played by Dane Cook and Dax Shepard, two of the most underwhelming actors at work nowadays. Dane Cook got lucky since he played a rather likeable guy but Dax Shepard ended up playing one of his usual obnoxious dudes and he was eventually more annoying than funny. Actually, the whole premise had some potential with this awesome and completely lame huge super-market. I mean, if they played it more straight and realistic, a little bit like ‘Clerks’ (one of my all-time favorites), it could have worked. Unfortunately, instead, they went for some really over-the-top and underwhelming jokes and it was mostly rather boring. Concerning Jessica Simpson, she did look good, I’ll give you that, but she didn’t have much to do but, even so, she was hardly convincing. To conclude, I have seen worse but it still remains a rather weak comedy and it is not really worth a look, even if you like the genre.

I mean, *I* like it. *shrugs*
