"Employee of the Month" takes place in a parallel universe. It's a universe where customers have favorite cashiers at their neighborhood Costco and will literally cheer as they ring up their purchases in a flamboyant fashion. A universe where an employee's personnel file lists the people she has slept with. A universe where Andy Dick is funny. I have a hard time accepting any of these ideas, though I have to say that while "Employee of the Month" is not funny or good, it doesn't quite rise to the level of offensiveness, either. It's benign and flaccid, like a neutered dog's penis. Speaking of which, I would be surprised if the three guys who wrote the film -- it took three guys to write this film -- turned out not to be 15-year-old boys. Testicles, farts, gay sex and hits in the crotch comprise a noticeably high percentage of the film's jokes. Even with Jessica Simpson as the female lead, they can only muster one half-hearted breast reference. But MALE genitalia! The film can't stop talking about it!
