You're bound to have more fun working overtime than watching Employee of the Month. Read full review

Boston GlobeWesley Morris
Perhaps Employee of the Month, which was typed then directed by Greg Coolidge, is unfolding in the key of satire. But you'd have to be a dog to hear it. Read full review

So achingly empty, it's nearly existential. Read full review

Washington PostAnn Hornaday
Rarely has an actress exuded such blank nothingness as Simpson, a one-woman vapid delivery system who sucks the energy and joy out of every scene she's in, like some freakishly well-endowed black hole. Read full review

It tries to toe the line between romantic comedy and vulgar pseudo-satire and fails at both. Read full review

How bad does a film have to be to get the death doughnut? Disgracefully bad. Read full review
