phia_phish Review of Employee of the Month

Employee of the Month (2006)

2 stars for being able to finish the movie?

[2/10 · 3 January 2021]

Honestly, I think this movie has aged pretty poorly, their treatment of women, POC, and possibly people with disabilities is really quite bad. Dane cook who is supposed to be the protagonist learns nothing, is crappy to his friends, and gets the girl by default because his misogyny is more low key? Also the movie is based on characters we learn nothing about. There's literally a conversation where Jessica Simpson and Dane cook are like "you're not like other boys/girls" but give no information about how/why this is the case. Some low key funny moments but mostly good if you want to laugh at how bad and nonsensical it is. I do want to give a shout-out to the grandma who was the best part of the movie and the lift operator who made their hideout possible but never got any credit.
