Director John Cameron Mitchell matches his previous feature HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH with another provocative sexual commentary that eventually proves that there is less than meets the eye. 

10 minutes into EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH, it is realized that there exists only one character in the entire movie that is not idiotic.  That is the main protagonist, Zack Bradley (Dane Cook) going all out to win the EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH award, only because the underachieving slacker believes that he will then have a chance, at scoring over the new counter girl, Amy (Jessica Simpson).

With everyone else acting stupid, there is no real competition for Zack.  Zack’s supervisor is bullied nerd of an administrator.  The competition is geeky Vince Downy (Dax Shepard), who has won the ward the past 17 months and will stop at nothing to win it again.  The romantic slant thrown in is not much more interesting either.

Predictable as scripts come, Amy would find out that Zack is only winning the contest to sleep with her, she will get upset and he has to prove that he is ambitious after all. 

The term white trailer trash is hacked to the limit in the movie version of the hit Canadian series TRAILER PARK BOYS.  Director Mike Clattenburg and the boys, Ricky (Robb Wells), Julian (John Paul Tremblay) and Bubbles (Mike Smith) are reunited in a misadventure that promises cheap laughs at stupidity with a bit of an ironic look at the social system.

EVERYTHING’S GONE GREEN with its smart talk, contemporary setting and psychological driven action/incidents makes a perfect match between internationally best selling author Douglas Coupland (Generation X, Hey Nostradamus) and director of last year’s psychological claustrophobic thriller THE DARK HOURS. 

Whenever a family is in peril, the nanny or housekeeper will always be the one to save the day.  In KEEPING MUM, the arriving new housekeeper to the vicar family in the village of Wallop is no Mary Poppins or Maria Von Trapp but a murderous lady with the nasty habit of hacking up those who tend to annoy her.  Grace (Maggie Smith) arrives to help out Rev. Walter Goodfellow (Rowan Atkinson).

His wife, Gloria (Kristen Scott Thomas) is contemplating leaving for Mexico with her golf pro (Patrick Swayze) while daughter, Holly (Tamsin Egerton) is getting too much sex.

Grace has sympathy for the poor vicar and helps the family out.  The plot sounds like predictable fare – which it is, but director Johnson (the unreleased in North America THE GHOST OF GREVILLE LODGE) and the actors relate their tale with all the charm of a quaint British cottage.
