Critics Consensus

Employee of the Month features mediocre performances, few laughs, and a lack of satiric bite.

Reasonably entertaining, though probably better as a DVD rental.

3/5

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.

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.

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

It is pretty good, entertaining comedy. Not the best comedy that I have seen though.

The first thing I noticed about this movie was how much it reminded me of "Waiting", which came out 1 year prior. (Similar plots and similar acting styles of our main characters). The second thing I noticed was the cast. It's a real who's who of obsolete comedic talent. Dane Cook, Harland Williams, and Andy Dick... C'mon now. I will say that Cook has a certain charisma and charm that somewhat helps prop this one up. Dax Shepard's performance was even better, but neither was able to generate many laughs. The dialogue was largely unfunny, most of the deliveries felt awkward, and there weren't nearly enough workplace shenanigans for my taste. The potential for greatness was there, but strange casting choices and poor execution made it feel a cheap copy of its slightly more successful predecessor.
