Employee of the Month [2006](Dane Cook, Jessica Simpson, Dax Shephard) 7/10
[Buy - Rent - Download - Avoid]
A good amount of laughs in this relatively fast-paced comedy. Dane Cook is pretty much still Dane Cook, though perhaps a bit less wacky. If you like Dane Cook as a personality, you'll like this movie more. If you don't like Dane Cook's personality/tone/humor, you'll likely give it the same 7 I gave it. In all reality, Jessica Simpson's presence and insane amounts of cleavage throughout the entire movie probably influences my vote a little, putting it at 7 instead of 6.5. She's just that nice to look at.
Not to discount the movie too much, though, it's got some good lines here and there, but isn't something you'll laugh all the way through. Dax is surprisingly good. Andy Dick is great and hilarious because he's NOT being "Andy Dick" in usual form. Harland Williams is great, as usual. Tim Bagley, who plays the boss, is awesome. His small-ish part steals every scene he's in.
