So of course I had to get this for my brother's birthday. Dane Cook is THE funniest guy i ever heard. His acting is top notch and the supporting cast is not bad either including "Pedro" from Napoleon Dynamite (another great movie) and Harland Williams from the movie Sorority Boys (not one for the kids) This movie rocks and you'll laugh sooooo hard your head will pop off your neck. Between the Gay Manager, his abusive little person big brother and race to employee of the month full with enough pranks to choke a horse (no reference to the Duchess of Cornwall) to win a girls heart this is one movie you can't miss. hilarious and light! March 26, 2008 J Cattermole 1 out of 2 found this review helpful If youre looking for a light hearted film, that will be guaranteed to make you laugh, then look no further! i love this film! i saw the trailer and thought it look funny and it is, it's great, all about the guys who work in a wall-mart and a new sexy employee starts (jessica simpson) and she dates the employee of the month so the slacker has to change his ways drastically and become a model employee against the reigning champion!! br / br /it's brilliant, my favourite bit has to be the guys secret tea hut hidden up high in a gap where boxes should be in a weall of boxes! br / br /lot's of laughs and one you can watch again and again! br / br /highly recommended! loved this film September 6, 2008 J Hayes (Ireland) It would be easy for Me to say the humour is just like the humour on the tv show "Reaper" because even though the theme of the movie is nothing like the theme of reaper, they are both set in similar type stores and it just reminded me of it. However if you like the humour on shows like reaper , you`ll love this. Hysterical April 11, 2007 O. Doyle (Ireland) 6 out of 8 found this review helpful Zack (Dane Cook) is a popular guy but a known slacker who has never had any desire to become Employee of the Month at Super Club. That is until a new cashier named Amy (Jessica Simpson) joins the team and it becomes known that she only dates the high achievers. In a quest to win her over Zack decides that this month he's going to try for Employee of the Month but to do so he must knock head cashier Vince (Dax Shepard) off his pedestal. As winner of seventeen consecutive titles of the Employee of the Month and with a prize of a sports car in view if he can get Employee of the Month once more Vince isn't giving up without a fight. Let the amusement begin! br / br /This was a cracker of a comedy and I think that was mostly down to Dax Shepard who reigned supreme as Vince. Jessica Simpson was virtually non-existent during the whole movie and her part was played up beforehand to make it sound like she'd a lot more of a prominent role than really was the case. She was no great loss anyway as the scenes she did participate in were forgettable at best. But every other character in the movie made up for her lack of involvement and what you're left with is a really amusing and enjoyable movie. br / I LIKED THIS COMEDY January 18, 2008 stuart (MIDDLESBROUGH, ENGLAND) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful Going into this movie I really didn't know what to expect. I mildly chuckled through a couple of trailers but there wasn't anything that blew me away. I was just going to wait and rent it on DVD when it came out but my friend bought me a ticket so I gave it a shot. I'm glad that I got a chance to see this movie. It is by far the biggest surprise I've seen this year. br / br /The main problem hesitation I had going into it was Dane Cook. I love his stand up act and think he's one of the most gifted comedians out there right now. The thing is that doesn't always translate into a good acting career. He hadn't really done anything big up to this point. Just minor roles in films like Mystery Men, Stuck on You, and Waiting. I'm glad to say though that he did an excellent job as the lead character of Zack. He's just one of those characters you instantly like. Throughout the film he did a really good job of being the practical joker but also showing that he cared about those around him. br / br /Also it was good that he had a stellar supporting cast to back him up. Harlan Williams, Andy Dick, and Brian George play Zach's best friends at the store Russel, Lon, and Iqbal. This group stole many of the scenes they were in. Andy Dick especially surprised me because normally he's too over the top and gets on my nerves which wasn't the case this time. br / br /Then there's Tim Bagley who plays the neurotic store manager Glen Gary and Sean Whalen who plays his assistant. At first these two really didn't do too much but as the film progressed they got to have a few shining moments. Especially Glen Gary's interactions with his brother's Glen Ross played by the always funny Danny Woodburn. When Glen Ross showed up I thought they were going to have a bunch of little person jokes made at his expense but I'm glad to say that they played off of it in a very light manner without being insulting. br / br /The main person who made this movie enjoyable for me though was Dax Shepard as Vince the antagonist of the film. To me he was the funniest person in the film. His character was dead on as the guy who loves his job too much and acts superior to everyone around him. His mistreatment of his only worshiper Jorge played by Efren Ramirez and utter hatred of Zack could've been boring and typical but he was too funny. I think a lot of what worked in the movie was the interaction between Vince and Zack. Also Vince's awkward courtship of Amy, played by Jessica Simpson, really made his character enjoyable. Here is a guy who wow's the ladies with his insanely fast check out skills but when faced with a beautiful girl is awkward and says all the wrong things. Their kiss had to be one of the most funniest and uncomfortable I've seen in a movie for a while. br / br /And this leads me to one of the problems I did have with the movie. I don't hate Jessica Simpson, but I'm not singing her praises. She does an OK job as Amy, the girl Zach and Vince are trying to win Employee of the Month to impress enough to go out with them. There was never really a point in the film that made me see why they were trying so hard to be with her outside of how good looking she is. Honestly I never saw any real depth in her character. br / br /To her defense thought I think a lot of it had to do with the plot. Which is to say there isn't a lot outside of the initial premise. Her character was probably the most underwritten. Basically Zack becomes a better employee to try to win the title role and Amy's affection and Vince is trying to do the same and stop Zach by any means. There is the typical neglect of the friends when Zach becomes focused and towards the end it picks up but aside from that there isn't a whole lot. br / br /Normally without a really strong plot I wouldn't enjoy the movie but the characters are really good and the movie probably is the second most memorable film this year behind Clerks II for one liners. The one liners in the film are crowd killers that bring the whole room to laughter. The delivery of these lines are dead on and you'll be quoting them for a long time with your friends. br / br /Overall this movie is much better than it had any right to be. I had hardly any expectations and now I recommend that everyone at least give it a shot. I understand if you want to wait until DVD because going to the movies is so costly these days but when you do have a chance I would see it. It's not the funniest movie this year but it's surprising.
