Black Comedy: Employee of the Month

Employee of the Month (2004)

This is NOT the movie with Dane Cook and Jessica Simpson, but rather the black comedy from a couple years before starring Matt Dillon and Steve Zahn.

The movie starts with Matt Dillon sitting on a bus looking disheveled. A crazy homeless man tells the guy sitting next to Dillon "you're in my seat," convincing the guy to move. Right after taking the guy's seat, the hobo shits his pants. Dillon's character is narrating the whole time, explaining that just 24 hours ago, he was engaged, employed, and feeling great about life. The next scene shows him walking into what appears to be an office, and firing from the door into screams of horror. The writer then takes you through the last 24 hours, picking up with that scene towards the end of the movie. Guess what, the ending is not what you thought it was going to be!

All around, I liked this movie. I think the ending was a tad overambitious, since the plot changes like 5 times in the last few minutes. Keep watching through the end credits, they just couldn't stop!

Oh yeah, for you "The Office (US)" fans, Jenna Fischer stars as a "clean" hooker, and appears in one of the best scenes in the whole movie. Any of you that have had kitten-killing Pam Beesley fantasies will LOVE her dialog here. One of the best lines from this scene is near the end trailer below:

Dillon's character, after getting caught cheating on his fiance, asks Fischer's character, Whisper, "what would you do if (her boyfriend) was having sex with another girl?"

Whisper responds "umm, play with her tits?"
