Employee of the Month

Disastrously unfunny from start to finish, Employee of the Month is a complete mess that wastes the increasingly questionable talents of star Dane Cook and a surprisingly competent supporting cast (which includes Dax Shepard, Andy Dick, and Harland Williams).

The film - which follows Cook's Zack as he competes with Shepard's Vince for the affection of Jessica Simpson's Amy - strikes all the wrong notes virtually from the get-go, with screenwriters Don Calame, Chris Conroy, and Greg Coolidge (the latter of whom also directs) emphasizing comedic bits that generally come off as uncomfortably broad and thoroughly desperate.
