Employee of the Month was quite an experience. Honestly, I only wanted to see it because Jenna Fischer was in it. I didn't really have any idea of what kind of movie it was, at all. Let's just say that this ended up being a hard film to like, for a few reasons.
First of all, it... read more

Pretty entertaining, caught this one on TV one day. It actually didn't catch hold of my attention until the end which was ridiculous but great at the same time.

A mildly entertaining film about a guy who loses everything, a job and a beautiful girl, in just one day.
Brings nothing new to the genre and in the end it just delivers twists after twists that it drowns in its own ingenuity.
The acting is pretty average but Steve Zahn is alw... read more -

This movie would have been rubbish if not for Steve Zahn, who did a lot to save it from itself. It was fairly staright forward and enjoyable for most of the way, but then it started taking a turn for the worse near the end, then another, and then another. It was trying like hell ... read more

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Matt Dillon just gets better and better with age. And I do believe that Christina Applegate will escape the child-star syndrome. Never look at her the same way again, I'm telling you.

'Employee of the Month' Gets Pink-Slipped
Contrived, smug, and mostly unbelievable caper/thriller that tries to be too slick and clever for its own good. Matt Dillon must've had deja vu of Wild Things with the multiple surprise (and ridiculous) twist endings. -

I was surprised what this movie turned out to be. I watched it because the cover made me take notice and it has Steve Zahn in it, his characters are usually good. Has some nice quotes in it too; a nice little movie even if the ending is a little cliched.

...we already have a Johnny Knoxville, thank you very much. Full Review
Zahn irrita com seu histrionismo, mas Dillon é carismático como sempre. Pena que a trama não se sustente e o diretor exagere no desespero para provar que tem algum talento.
...feels a whole lot like watching three hard-working actors who are feverishly trying to extricate one another from an entire planet made of quicksand. Full Review
It is bad enough that it's a bad comedy for most of its running time. It adds insult to injury when, in its last act, is also becomes a bad heist movie. Full Review
