Stand-up comic Dane Cook is left in a discount comedy.

| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Sep 7, 2020

Quite frankly, it makes perfect sense that Employee Of The Month is a terrible comedy - there's no one funny involved.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 3, 2012

Predictable, crude comedy aimed at teens.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 1, 2011

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 7, 2008

This vapid, laugh-lite romp won't satisfy anyone. Except die-hard Jessica Simpson fans.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 22, 2008

...there's ultimately very little here to appeal to even the most die-hard Cook fanatic.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 31, 2008

So tossed-off and muddled it'll likely bore even the blue-collar male audience at which it's aimed.

| Mar 1, 2007

It's predictable and formulaic, with some slapstick, visual and toilet humour that may not have you falling in the aisles, but amuses in an undemanding way.

| Feb 1, 2007

Reasonably entertaining, though probably better as a DVD rental.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 20, 2007

The latest in a long line of lowbrow slacker comedies of the Clerks persuasion, Employee Of The Month is funnier and smarter than most of its contemporaries.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 9, 2007

saddest thing about this unpleasant, mirthless film is that it's photographed by Anthony Richmond.

| Jan 6, 2007

A likeable cast is underused in this cut-price guy comedy with only the occasional laugh.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 4, 2007

Basically, in the genre of workplace-based comedies, Employee of the Month is no Office Space, but it's nowhere near as bad as, say, Waiting, either. Watchable, but entirely forgettable.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 4, 2007

Amy is little more than a pretty face, undermining the film's female appeal and leading one to wonder if Dukes of Hazzard eye candy Simpson is becoming a trifle typecast.

| Dec 30, 2006

You're fired.

| Dec 30, 2006

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.

| Dec 19, 2006

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

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 24, 2006

Cook's creepy smirk is downright hypnotic. You keep staring at it, seeking to find the gears and flywheels beneath the flesh, but the harder you look, the less you see.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 30, 2006

refuses to go beyond shallow observations and silly slapstick, making for an ordinary outing when that should not be the case

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 26, 2006

Keeps a smile on your face even though there are only a couple of actual laughs along the way.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 18, 2006
