Slacker Zack Bradley works as a box boy at Super Club, a warehouse club store. It is the lowest in the job hierarchy at the store. He doesn't work very hard at his job, and along with some of his fellow employee friends treats the store like his playground. Regardless, he is well liked by most of the other employees. He used to be hard working, when he was developing a dot com, but he lost all his and his grandmother's money in the process. As such, he decided not to take any risks in life while he now lives with her so as to provide her with what he considers at least a more reliable life. On the other extreme is Vince Downey, who lords an air of superiority over his fellow employees as the store's head cashier. He lives to be the store's best employee solely so that he can be named Employee of the Month, which he has been named seventeen months in a row. If he is named Employee of the Month for a record eighteenth time in a row, he will be rewarded with entrance into the corporation's management track program and a new car. Zack decides he wants to break Vince's streak if only because he reads in the employment record of recent transfer, the pretty Amy Renfro, that she had a thing at her previous store for men who have been named Employee of the Month. Zack finds that working toward being Employee of the Month is not as easy as he thought, especially as Vince will not relinquish the title and all its perks without a fight, dirty or not. Zack has to decide how far he is willing to go to get the title and the girl.

| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseCook's usual persona is annoying, but with his volume turned down here, he's even more of a zero. |
| FilmJerk.comBrian OrndorfThere once was a time not too long ago when Dane Cook was a luminous comedic talent. With Employee of the Month, it looks like that era is over. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekBefore his transformation for the love of Amy, hero Zack's motto was 'Why bother trying?' That seems to have been the filmmakers' mantra, too...a bland, formulaic rehash. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerManny LewisIt's an agreeable comedy that makes its priorities clear: It wants to be funny at the expense of almost everything else. |
| E! OnlineLuke Y. ThompsonDon Calame and Chris Conroy's script is witty and peppered with good laughs, but cops out a bit at the end with an overly conventional resolution. As for Jessica Simpson... her character is virtually irrelevant, as is her acting ability. |
| AV ClubNathan RabinA symptom of cinematic de-evolution run amok. |
| Sean the Movie GuySean McBrideThe problem lies with the bland bombshell at the center and the overall sense that the filmmakers keep missing obvious comic opportunities. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderIt's benign and flaccid, like a neutered dog's penis. |
| TheMovieChicks.comCherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann PaloneThe battle has begun: let the best man with a scan-gun win. Okay, you know that it's a completely silly premise, but that doesn't mean it's a terrible movie (Okay, it's not a great movie, either). |
| MaximPete HammondIt's fun but a little too homogenized for its own good, beocming more likea very expensive sitcom pilot. |
