Watch Employee of the Month For Free

Just perfect...

best movie i've ever seen.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

I borrowed the movie from a buddy at work. He kept telling me the movie was "alright"So i figured, what the hell.Wow, what i great movie. It's got kind of a satisfying feeling about it when the ending gets close. But it's basically about how someone who has been working hard at their job for years, suddenly gets fired, and now he's sort of out for revenge. But has a twist of Karma thrown in the mix too....and has a lesson to be learned. (obviously as the movie description states)But it's got that revenge kind of "feel" to it, just like "Office Space". But this movie isn't as soft and funny. It's a little cruel but STILL VERY FUNNY at the same time. Kind of a weird mixture of the two.And it does have a few sex scenes or sexually explicit stuff.It seems like these kinds of movies are always swept under the rug when they first come out....just because they involve "sensitive issues", like Workplace Violence and things like that.....But it IS a good movie, regardless.

We've never heard anything about this movie. My wife and I saw "Employee of the Month" on the TV guide, and thought it was the movie with Dane Cook and Jessica Simpson and decided to watch it. After realizing that it wasn't that "Employee of the Month", and that nothing else was on we decided to watch the movie, and we are very glad that we did. From start to finish a great movie, the acting was very good. The story line was easy enough to follow, while still jogging around enough to keep the movie interesting. Towards the end of the movie the story line almost gets hard to follow, I'm not sure if it is the twists or the fact that you need to keep picking your jaw off the ground, but the ending keeps up with the rest of the movie for sure.

So you want some quotable quotes for the office to describe the various jerks we have to work with or for? See this movie.You want some great lines from some good actors: notice Miss Office, playing a hooker, as she explains to Matt the difference between love and f*cking: love is something you feel for another and f*cking is something you do. And then she steals his car. But all done SO sweetly.As for the minister's wife? Sitting there with this compassionate smile on her face all through dinner: then you find out she's lit to the gills. What a great job she did!!!As Matt Dillon plays the good guy, the bad guy, the funny guy, the lover and the killer in all his films, in this film, he plays all those characters. To watch him soulfully do his thing, whether it's at work where he schmoozes up all the folks and makes them feel good BEFORE he's fired and then how he lays it to them AFTER he's fired is an inspiring thing to see. Working in a Stepford Wife corporation myself, it's great to see all these stereotypes that I deal with daily, and probably so do you. Ironically, when he tells these folks the truth, he's doing them more of a favor than when he panders to them.When Matt tells the pregnant woman to go home, you know something is up and he's going to be in the middle of it. Of course, the end tells you that the entire thing is a fantasy, but in the meantime you really enjoy the ride.Do NOT turn off the movie after the 'show' is over. As the credits go rolling by, you'll see scenes that explain all the little quirks that weren't explained in the movie. And for the spoiler? ********************************************************************* Matt Dillon does not play a dead guy well. I think I saw either his eye flicker, or his body twitch, but he was good in the bag. See it. It's hilarious and satisfying.

'1' might seem an unduly harsh rating for this movie. After all, there are probably worse movies out there. But as far as i am concerned, if a movie is so bad it leaves you depressed and hollow inside, mourning the precious precious time that could have been spent memorizing the first 100 digits of pi, it is bad enough. The back of the box already gives you a warning. "A film in the style of the Cohen Brothers" it claims. When will i ever learn? I don't believe I fell for that. Real filmmakers don't want to be compared to other contemporary filmmakers, they want to stand on their own. A Cohen Brothers film compared to this is like comparing a Mozart symphony to a car alarm. This was one of those movies which attempts to be witty and edgy, the pitch was probably something like "The Bigh Lebowski meets Fight Club". For example, there is a scene where the main character is fired by his boss, and he pulls a gun on him. Then, big surprise, its revealed that never happened outside his imagination. The problem is that the boss was so cartoonishly odious that pulling a gun on him seems like an understatement. The scene fell flat, it wasn't surprising or shocking in the least. The dialog is peppered with attempts at wittiness and edginess, unfortunately it uniformly fails to be either. For instance, there was a little exchange that went something like: "His name is Fred Thomas." "So has two first names?" "Yes, what's your point." "No point, just making an observation." This little exchange had no point other than to bask in its own wittiness. Handled well, this might have been a barely acceptable stab at Pulp Fiction-like verbal interplay. It wasn't, it was so painfully awkward and unfunny that i felt embarrassed watching it. The movie is full of hollow and pointless "edgy" stylistic touches, like random pauses and fast forwards. The soundtrack slavishly plays to current teenage trendiness. The 'the dude' analog was shill and obnoxious. I haven't mentioned the plot, because it is not worth mentioning. Very very little happens before the pathetically contrived series of twists at the end. Avoid at all costs, not seeing this movie is worth at least $75.
