Employee of the Month Reviews
Urban Cinefile
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.
Guardian [UK]
Reasonably entertaining, though probably better as a DVD rental.

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.

You have to hand it to filmmakers. They've recognized that not everybody who watches movies are millionaires.

It's fun but a little too homogenized for its own good, beocming more likea very expensive sitcom pilot.

It does have some good laughs and ought to be especially relatable to those who actually do pull pranks and tell dirty jokes to pass the time at minimum-effort, minimum-wage jobs.

I liked the movie thanks largely to Dane Cook and Dax Shepard. These are funny guys who really know how to (no pun intended) sell the material. And I bought it.

The question is will the old story work? If it's done well, sure, but not if it's too stupid or too full of cheap clichés, and fortunately, while it is close, it's not.

Top CriticEmployee of the Month is a stupid comedy. But it's not witless.

Attention, comedy shoppers: The marked-down movie Employee of the Month has more laughs than most of the name-brand products.

Charlotte Observer
First-time director Greg Coolidge packs his cast with quirky bit players, crisp physical humor that doesn't involve dented noggins and more than a few references that require you to think.

Employee of the Month knows it has a flimsy premise but it simply doesn't care. It's an agreeable comedy that makes its priorities clear: It wants to be funny at the expense of almost everything else.

A sort of blue-collar Office Space that sends up the dreary world of working at a discount store.

Employee borrows Office Space's crushing-boredom-of-the-workplace vibe, but it's sunnier because these guys realize they don't hate their jobs as much as they thought.

Pic's midsection, with the increasingly likable Zack threatening to overcome Vince's early lead, is unexpectedly funny and involving.
The wry, character-driven humor picks up enough momentum to carry it through to the checkout desk.

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