Barbie was once only a popular toy that young girls would bother their parents to purchase. They were the encapsulation of stereotypical LA women from the minds of a grubby man. Blonde hair, tiny waist, ample charms and perhaps an empty head? Surely there are no real women that would aim to be like this? Wrong. In today’s society it seems that women’s liberation needn’t have existed as some women find that pretending (or just being) stupid and easy is the way forward. With the likes of Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan and Paris Hilton becoming the US poster children of the 2000s perhaps we are all going to hell in a handcart. There are other dim idols out there in ...  Read the complete review

Employee of the month is a very enjoyable family comedy and in my opinion a must see! The film is based around Zack (Dane Cook) who is a lazy worker and not at all interested in his job or becoming employee of the month as opposed to his co-worker cashier Vince (Dax Shepherd) who has won employee of the month for the last 16 months running. That is until a new cashier joins the company called Amy (Jessica Simpson), it is rumoured that she only dates the employee of the month so Zack decides he must beat Vince in order to win Amy over. Both Dax Shepherd and Dane Cook are very funny in this film, as were other characters! A very amusing and enjoyable film with lots ...  Read the complete review

I have only watched this film twice and to be honest it's not a film i will jump through hoops to watch again. With all the build up in the media regarding this film, and critics predicting that the film would be a great success, they where proved wrong, by such a drab storyline, and bad acting. ~The film~ Set in America and the majority of the scenes are based in supermarket. Vince Downy (Dax Shepard) is a popular supermarket worker, he works behind the tills, stocking shelfs, and is always sucking up to customers and other workers resulting in him winning 'Employer of the month' for 17 consecutive times. A new girls joins the store ...  Read the complete review

Employee of The Month is obviously relying on its premise to sell itself as it has no big stars in it at all, Jessica Simpson is the only big name and she is not exactly known for her ability as an actress. Employee of the month has a simple idea, one that should be full of comedy potential, strangely though, while it is slightly enjoyable on a very lowbrow level, it just is not funny. The main reason for this is that the comedy doesn't work most of the time. Whether this is down to the flat script or to the fact that the direction just does not take advantage of the situation the plot has set up I don't know. The plot of the movie is based around ...  Read the complete review
