Directed by: Greg Coolidge
Featuring:

Dax Shepherd
Efren Ramirez
Andy Dick
There isn’t a lot to be said about Employee of the Month. I have never seen Clerks, so I can’t tell you if it is a sad rip off. I have never seen Jessica Simpson’s breasts, so I can’t tell you if they are as fake as her acting. And I have never seen the original script, so I can’t tell you if this was honestly the best they could come up with.
It’s not a bad movie. Actually, wait…. no. I have seen worse. And I didn’t fall asleep during the movie, so hey, it beat out Gladiator (I had a temp of 104 at the time) and Brokeback Mountain (there is not excuse; I was just bored). I’ll even admit that I actually laughed at some of the jokes.
The plot is easy, simple, with static characters, little character development, and clichéd cinematography. The writing was okay. I mean, it wasn’t awful, but it was hardly worthy of being classic. I do have a theory about the movie, however. If they had completely gotten rid of Jessica Simpson and cut out about 116 of the homosexual references between the characters of Vince and Jorge (don’t worry, there are still the other several dozen), it could have been a moderately good movie to watch when your copy of Van Wilder is under the bed and you’re too lazy to retreive it. Or if your professors have decidedly melted your brain into a lump of cheese and you cannot comprehend anything but this the simple plot. Though… I’m still debating if I would rather stare of Tara Reid over Jessica Simpson…
It’s not worth sitting in a theatre for. I’ll give it a 3.5 out of 10. (After all, I did think of a few things to add to my shopping list for when I go to Costco this weekend.)
