Employee of the Month is set in Super Club, the largest high-volume, bulk-discount retailer in the country, where membership has its privileges. For workers at the cavernous store, the most coveted honor is the "Employee of the Month" award, and having one's photo immortalized on the wall of fame in the staff lounge.

Enter Zack Bradley (Dane Cook) and Vince Downey (Dax Shepard), two ultra competitive Super Club workers whose ten years of employment have resulted in drastically different career paths. While Vince - with the aid of his trusty sidekick, Jorge (Efren Ramirez) -- has advanced to become head cashier and winner of 17 consecutive "E of M" awards, Zack is the ultimate slacker whose scruffy appearance and laid back attitude has made him popular with his colleagues, but kept him stuck in the lowly ranks of the store's box boys. The duo's longtime rivalry comes to a bitter head when Amy (Jessica Simpson) – a beautiful new cashier with a reputation of only dating "Employee of the Month" winners - transfers to the store, immediately becoming the object of both Zack and Vince's affection and often comical gamesmanship.

While Vince instantly impresses Amy with his crowd pleasing, flamboyant style behind his checkstand register, Zack’s feeble attempts to charm his beautiful new co-worker quickly backfire against him. With the race to win Amy's affections slipping away, Zack determines his only chance rests in winning the store's next "Employee of the Month" award. A battle to the end, EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH shows that the only failure in life is when one fails to try.




It's hard to tell from the trailers what Employee of the Month is going to be. Sometimes it looks funny, sometimes it looks like a movie that can't even properly sell Jessica Simpson's sex appeal… unless of course you're incredibly turned on by the thought of her with gigantic, freakish, monkey ears. But it's going to make a massive pile of money anyway, because Dane Cook is in it. That means MySpace and it's massive gang of pedophiles will probably turn out to support it.

Ok, that's not fair. Not everyone on My Space is a pedophile. Some of them are children. Some of them are also me and last I checked I was neither a pedophile nor a children. Hopefully, if MySpace membership is going to transform me into one of its stereotypical members, it'll turn me into a slutty teenager or an unfunny yet incredibly wealthy comedian instead of Kevin Bacon in The Woodsman.
