Matt Dillon plays a handsome thirty-something Joe who seems to have it all--a lovely blond fiancee (MARRIED WITH CHILDREN's Christina Applegate) and a high paying job at a bank. In one morning however, he is dually dumped--by both his girlfriend and his boss. Reeling from the shock, our hero becomes vulnerable to the get-rich-quick scheming of his best friend, and soon finds himself caught up in a bank robbing spree! [More]

Anyone repelled by the dating quota enforcement of movies like Failure to Launch should at least recognize virtue in Employee of the Month's dismissal of ranked social leagues.

Zahn irrita com seu histrionismo, mas Dillon é carismático como sempre. Pena que a trama não se sustente e o diretor exagere no desespero para provar que tem algum talento.

...feels a whole lot like watching three hard-working actors who are feverishly trying to extricate one another from an entire planet made of quicksand.

It is bad enough that it's a bad comedy for most of its running time. It adds insult to injury when, in its last act, is also becomes a bad heist movie.
