It's hard to fault a script that keeps finding new dilemmas for characters and rewards attentive viewers with in-jokes.
Don Calame and Chris Conroy's script is witty and peppered with good laughs, but cops out a bit at the end with an overly conventional resolution. As for Jessica Simpson... her character is virtually irrelevant, as is her acting ability.

J. Simpson is brilliant. D.Shepard is a real star and the rest do follow, you get a few laughs and a few twists and turns, this movie does have the potential to be a real family favorite and really make a name for itself, and that starts here on MetaCritic! The movie is good and you really do have fun watching it!

Coolidge knows he's not making "Death of a Salesman" here (he names the store managers Glen Gary and Glen Ross in tribute to David Mamet's elegy to the American Dream), but he's got the same eye for detail that made "Office Space" great. What he lacks is Arthur Miller's (or even Mike Judge's) sense for character.
So achingly empty, it's nearly existential.
The results in Employee of the Month are toothless.
I laughed once or twice during this flat and fatuous farce, mainly because director and co-writer Greg Coolidge lifted a lot of it from "Office Space."
How bad does a film have to be to get the death doughnut? Disgracefully bad.
This movie is hilarious, and has a real pull on you that makes you want to see more! There is a few loopholes, but if you can see past them, have fun and relax, you will be on the edge of your seat wondering who is too be crowned the '' Employee of the Month ''

It really is hilarious. Dane Cook and Dax Shepard make perfectly comedic rivals here. It's a constant laugh riot with a cast of hilariously bizarre characters. It's got kind of a predictable plot line about a guy trying to impress a girl, and that leads to some predictable moments, but that doesn't make this movie any less-funny. So if you're looking for some laughs then this is a movie you should check out.

"Employee of the Month" is a comedy movie that can be both tediously unfunny and badly directed. Can't believe I actually watched this in my English class. I'd rather study than watch this piece of crap.

I'm not sure where the comedy was since its the genre I found this movie in. Expecting to laugh I was led into a drama of a movie that didn't make any sense. The story seemed to have had good points but overall the movie didn't piece together. Let alone, the genre and the description of the movie was not fitting - seemed very unorganized and lacking creativity.

It's completely insufferable and almost deliberately unfunny.
