Working Class Hero?

Hospital humor prevails when Zach Braff adorns the small screen in Scrubs. But will his skills shine on the big screen in a white-collar comedic performance? The early indication is that the upcoming film Fast Track will aim to rival the cubicle culture comedy of The Office and Office Space. The setup from Variety: "A bun in the oven forces man-child chef Zach Braff to leave New York and get a real job at his father-in-law's Ohio ad agency in Fast Track, a half-baked comedy torn between sincere emotion and over-the-top outrageousness. As if adjusting to a white-collar job weren't challenging enough, the young man must endure a mentor who turns out to be his wife's high school flame (Jason Bateman), a paraplegic with a passive-aggressive streak. In-joke office humor and baby-raising gags seem custom-tailored to the yuppie date-movie crowd, though ads suggest a zanier experience than director Jesse Peretz can deliver." Premature prediction of failure aside, we'll take our chances on this as our employee movie of the month. [Variety]
