Employee of the Month : Movie Review


The slackers take on the brown-nosers in "Employee of the Month," a spoof of consumerism and competition that's slightly smarter than might be expected for a pic aimed at the Jessica Simpson demographic. Co-writer-director Greg Coolidge's hyphenate debut displays the influence of Mike Judge's "Office Space" on the '90s generation, including that pic's deadpan skewering of soulless corporate life. But "Employee" shifts the arena from the office to a Costco-like superstore. Falling short of being truly memorable but sharper than the general slagheap of comedies, pic will scan reasonably good biz at theatrical checkout stands.
