2006

Starring

Plot: Zack is slacker who works for a wholesale shoppers club and just does absolutely nothing. Ace employee Vince is shooting for the record for being the Employee of the month. Things change when Amy transfer from another store and is believed to have a thing for the Employee of the month. Zack now changes his attitude to try and become that person to win Amy over before Vince gets her first.

This movie is one of the funniest movies with an all star cast of comedians. We get to see the comedic sides of Cook that we all have come to  love. He and Sheppard play off each other so well you would thin k there wasn't a script and they adlibbed the whole movie. Simpson is only in this movie for her looks which are good but as an actress not so good.

The movie takes place is Super Club a whole sale shoppers club where we all know you can buy literally anything not nailed to floors which we have some people do. Zack (Cook) has had a successful life in the past but, when things went bad for him he had to move in with his loveable grandma (who has one of the best lines in the movie) and goes to work day by day as a box boy. He does the minimal each and every day to just get an end of the week pay check. He has a small group of friends who are played by some of the top comics in the business today. From day to day they hang out, go to their club house/break room, and all do whatever they can to just get by.

Vince (Sheppard) is the Super Club stud going for a record 20 months in a row being the employee of the month and if he does he wins a newish Chevy. Vince has the confidence from his Manager and Asst manager who are both weird and funny characters them selves. He despises Zack because Zack will do anything to humiliate him in any way and try's to makes Zack's life hell if he can. Vince gets tunnel vision when Amy (Simpson) is transferred in and focuses on trying to impress her. This gets under Zack's collar cause she is kind of into Vince cause he is known for his long streak of achievements.

Zack wants to impress Amy and starts to become the model employee and try's to steal Vince's thunder and wants to break his streak and become the employee of the month to win  over Amy. The one thing we all have to consider is trying to win over Amy going to change his everyday relationship with his close friends and alienate him from everyone he has cared about to just get the girl?

From beginning to end the movie is filled with crazy pranks and non stop laughs. This DVD also has deleted scenes and alternate scenes that must be watched after watching the movie first cause they are just so funny.

Movie in my book gets a 7.5/10
