Employee of the Month (12A)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Employee of the Month is the comedy of the month. It may not get the cash registers ringing the way Dodgeball and The 40-Year-Old Virgin did, but, like them, it's a buddy comedy which is piled high with jokes but which is never so cartoonish that we stop caring about the hero. It also features two Seinfeld alumni, which has to be a good sign.
The film is set in SuperClub, a megamart bigger than most towns. For 10 years Dane Cook has drifted through his tenure there as a lowly cardboard box carrier, content to make sarcastic wisecracks while the showboating head cashier, Dax Shepherd, wows the customers and the bosses. But that changes with the offer of a productivity bonus in the curvaceous form of Jessica Simpson. She's a perky new colleague who's just transferred from another branch of SuperClub, and is rumoured to have a soft spot for Employees of the Month. For anyone disappointed by Clerks 2, this is a film to check out.
