Employee of the Month is an painfully predictable, unfunny attempt at a comedy for tweens. The only black man in the movie is a timid guy whose pushed around, the only hispanic man sucks up like a vacuum to a racist that treats him like crap, and the main female is ogled by all the males and is little other then eye candy in the movie. There are a handful of s**ts and other lesser swear words. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone because there are better movies than this, that people could see instead. Happy Gilmore and (for older audiences) Clerks are both much better movies that are similar to this. If you're thinking of watching this, watch one the other two I suggested and you'll thank me.

What Parents Need to Know
About Employee of the Month
Parents need to know that this movie -- which kids will want to see thanks to stars Dane Cook and Jessica Simpson -- is predictably rife with potty humor, foul-mouthed characters, sexual innuendo, and not-so-subtle racism and sexism -- which means kids will think it's a hoot. An African-American character is a dim-witted, gentle giant, while an Asian character willingly does favors for sweet treats. And let's not forget Hispanic nimrod Jorge with his vapid stare -- apparently Efren Ramirez (Pedro in Napoleon Dynamite) isn't too concerned about being typecast. In one scene, Jorge pulls a knife, and Vince says to him, "I thought you were Mexican, not Puerto Rican!" What century is this, again?

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why such stupid stuff is so funny to kids. Make sure they get the fact that a lot of the movie relies on stereotypical behaviors and characters for its humor, and ask them to talk about how they recognize the difference between real life and comedic cliches. You can also use the movie to discuss acceptable ways to win someone's affections. What would have been a better way to impress the new girl? Is it ever OK to use questionable behavior to get ahead? And shouldn't Zack have tried harder at work because it's the right thing to do, rather than just to impress Amy?

Rude 'n crude, and not very funny
Sexual Content (Pause): The whole film is about two men trying to have sex with a female co-worker, who wears tight, revealing outfits throughout. There are some references to male genitals. A character with poor eyesight inadvertently stares at a woman's clothed breasts. Some innuendo. Violence (Not an Issue): Comic violence. Language (Pause): A few uses each of "f--k", "s--t", "d--k", "p----k", "ass" (two with "-hole"), "hell", "damn", and "crap". Also some terms of deity being used as expletives. Social Behavior (Off): Asians, Hispanics, and African Americans are stereotyped. The plot of the film, which involves two men competing in a contest to have sex with a woman, is demeaning, sexist, and downright rude. A character repeatedly slacks off at work. Lots of crude humor. Commercialism (Off): The movie takes place at a warehouse containing LOTS of brand name products. Drug/Alcohol/Tobacco (Pause): Some drinking.

Horrible message, horrible movie
This movie is stupid and sexist. It portrays women as toys that men can fool around with(two men have a contest to sleep with a woman). The plot was boring. I am only giving this two stars because Jessica Simpson's acting was great. Don't watch this movie: horrible message, bad plot, and just simply boring.

innapropriate for kids 14 and under
i've seen this movie and it is pretty funny and kinda cute but it is very innapropriate for young people. there's too much talk about stuff that young kids shouldnt be into or shouldnt see. the movie would've done a lot better if they chopped off a ton of the innapropriate things.
