Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
It's brains over brawn as Tim Allen reunites with The Santa Clause director John Pasquin for this amiable comedy about a devoted dad who almost lets his fists do the talking. After being humiliated by the office bully (played by The Tick's Patrick Warburton), corporate nebbish Joe Scheffer (Allen) vows revenge. He becomes an office celebrity, taking kung fu lessons with a has-been action star (Jim Belushi) and preparing for a rematch against his tormentor. Kid stuff, to be sure, but Joe Somebody benefits from Allen's Everyman appeal, especially when he's getting his values adjusted by a caring colleague (Julie Bowen, from TV's Ed), or trying to make good with his daughter (Hayden Panettiere) and ex-wife (Kelly Lynch). The comedy is pure vanilla, and the good-guy lessons are learned with bland, family-fare efficiency, but the Allen-Bowen romance is gently engaging, and Allen's flair for slapstick doesn't go to waste. As a pacifist hero, this Joe is somebody to root for. --Jeff Shannon
Description
Tim Allen pulls no punches in the laugh department in this "warm, funny film" (Boston Metro) that's the perfect summer comedy. When a mild-mannered push-over challenges the office bully to fight, he goes from Joe Nobody to Joe Somebody.

3 out of 5 stars THE KARATE KLUTZ.......2006-05-29

JOE SOMEBODY has a pretty clear message: being "somebody" is mainly being yourself, and star Tim Allen does a good job in bringing this message home. He plays Joe, a nice corporate visual aid consultant, who gets slapped around by a bully employee in front of his impressionistic daughter. He decides to take lessons from a has been karate movie star, and challenges the bully to a rematch. It's all cutesy stuff, but it benefits from Allen's on target performance and a nice supporting cast including Julie Bowen, Hayden Patteniere, Patrick Warburton and Jim Belushi as the karate instructor. It's ending is not predictable and that is refreshing in movies of this type. Fans of Allen will love it; you'll like it too.

4 out of 5 stars A nice picture with my idol.......2005-07-28

A really nice picture. I loved it, I enjoyed it very much.
I am a Tim Allen's huge fan and he is adorable in this film. I hope to have another Allen's film soon.


3 out of 5 stars Joe Somebody.......2005-04-24

This movie really was not that great to me. There were some funny parts, but it just kept going, and the same thing happend the whole time. I guess you could just say it was a little dry.

1 out of 5 stars Joe Nobody Ha, Ha, Ha!.......2004-12-18

Not as Bad as Freddy Got Fingered, but it's terrible and starring a non-terrible star Tim Allen. He goes from Tim Taylor to Santa Clause to Buzz Lightyear and to other flicks,but then he goes to this poopy waste of a film, when Tim Allen could of done Toy Story 3. The plot is very stupid, this is a big discrace for Tim Allen, if you think this is better than the Santa Clause, I'm grateful I don't know you. I could make a better SAG Award winning porno than this piece of comedy POOP POOP POOP.

3 out of 5 stars Being Somebody.......2004-12-09

I didn't think this movie was going to be any good, but while watching it, I couldn't help but relate to the main character of Joe, played by Tim Allen. I related to him in the way anybody would. We've all been at a point where we just decide to give up on everything because we feel like nothing we do matters, and we're just going to fade away. Joe is going through a divorce, is never acknowledged at work, and doesn't really take charge of things the way he should.

After being beaten up by an office bully (Patrick Warburton) in front of his daughter, Joe decides to change his life around, by challenging the bully to another fight. This causes him to actually get noticed in the workplace, and become "somebody". But the message here is not 'threaten somebody and you'll get everything', it's 'take charge of things and be confident, and you'll succeed'.

The movie is funny and amusing, and it's got a good message. Tim Allen plays a somewhat different kind of role here, he's more of an introvert; more of a real person. Hayden Panettiere and Julie Bowen are both sweet as Joe's daughter and Joe's love interest. Worth a watch.

    Welcome to Mooseport: Welcome to Mooseport is such a blandly likable comedy that your grandmother could watch it and wish for a little sex and violence to keep her awake. Perhaps the phenomenal popularity of TV's Everybody Loves Raymond made Ray Romano proceed too cautiously in selecting this small-town comedy as his film debut; without a live audience and an endless supply of punchy one-liners at his disposal, his domestic everyman persona seems a bit lost, ill-defined and uncertain how to respond when a former U.S. President (Gene Hackman) (1) moves to the quiet, jovial Maine burg of Mooseport, where Romano's the beloved plumber and hardware store proprietor; (2) proceeds to make moves on Ray's long-time girlfriend (Maura Tierney, from ER); and (3) runs against our ol' pal Ray in Mooseport's homespun mayoral election. Hackman's got some stellar support from Marcia Gay Harden and Rip Torn (and, to a lesser degree, Fred Savage), and Tierney's a pleasure as always, but director Donald Petrie (Miss Congeniality) can't spin gold from straw; Tom Schulman's screenplay aims to please everyone, draining the energy from what might, in other hands, have been a deliciously devious premise. There's such a thing as being "niced" to death, and Welcome to Mooseport is proof. --Jeff Shannon

    Joe Somebody: It's brains over brawn as Tim Allen reunites with The Santa Clause director John Pasquin for this amiable comedy about a devoted dad who almost lets his fists do the talking. After being humiliated by the office bully (played by The Tick's Patrick Warburton), corporate nebbish Joe Scheffer (Allen) vows revenge. He becomes an office celebrity, taking kung fu lessons with a has-been action star (Jim Belushi) and preparing for a rematch against his tormentor. Kid stuff, to be sure, but Joe Somebody benefits from Allen's Everyman appeal, especially when he's getting his values adjusted by a caring colleague (Julie Bowen, from TV's Ed), or trying to make good with his daughter (Hayden Panettiere) and ex-wife (Kelly Lynch). The comedy is pure vanilla, and the good-guy lessons are learned with bland, family-fare efficiency, but the Allen-Bowen romance is gently engaging, and Allen's flair for slapstick doesn't go to waste. As a pacifist hero, this Joe is somebody to root for. --Jeff Shannon

        It's brains over brawn as Tim Allen reunites with The Santa Clause director John Pasquin for this amiable comedy about a devoted dad who almost lets his fists do the talking. After being humiliated by the office bully (played by The Tick's Patrick Warburton), corporate nebbish Joe Scheffer (Allen) vows revenge. He becomes an office celebrity, taking kung fu lessons with a has-been action star (Jim Belushi) and preparing for a rematch against his tormentor. Kid stuff, to be sure, but Joe Somebody benefits from Allen's Everyman appeal, especially when he's getting his values adjusted by a caring colleague (Julie Bowen, from TV's Ed), or trying to make good with his daughter (Hayden Panettiere) and ex-wife (Kelly Lynch). The comedy is pure vanilla, and the good-guy lessons are learned with bland, family-fare efficiency, but the Allen-Bowen romance is gently engaging, and Allen's flair for slapstick doesn't go to waste. As a pacifist hero, this Joe is somebody to root for. --Jeff Shannon

        3 out of 5 stars THE KARATE KLUTZ.......2006-05-29

        JOE SOMEBODY has a pretty clear message: being "somebody" is mainly being yourself, and star Tim Allen does a good job in bringing this message home. He plays Joe, a nice corporate visual aid consultant, who gets slapped around by a bully employee in front of his impressionistic daughter. He decides to take lessons from a has been karate movie star, and challenges the bully to a rematch. It's all cutesy stuff, but it benefits from Allen's on target performance and a nice supporting cast including Julie Bowen, Hayden Patteniere, Patrick Warburton and Jim Belushi as the karate instructor. It's ending is not predictable and that is refreshing in movies of this type. Fans of Allen will love it; you'll like it too.

        4 out of 5 stars A nice picture with my idol.......2005-07-28

        A really nice picture. I loved it, I enjoyed it very much.
        I am a Tim Allen's huge fan and he is adorable in this film. I hope to have another Allen's film soon.


        3 out of 5 stars Joe Somebody.......2005-04-24

        This movie really was not that great to me. There were some funny parts, but it just kept going, and the same thing happend the whole time. I guess you could just say it was a little dry.

        1 out of 5 stars Joe Nobody Ha, Ha, Ha!.......2004-12-18

        Not as Bad as Freddy Got Fingered, but it's terrible and starring a non-terrible star Tim Allen. He goes from Tim Taylor to Santa Clause to Buzz Lightyear and to other flicks,but then he goes to this poopy waste of a film, when Tim Allen could of done Toy Story 3. The plot is very stupid, this is a big discrace for Tim Allen, if you think this is better than the Santa Clause, I'm grateful I don't know you. I could make a better SAG Award winning porno than this piece of comedy POOP POOP POOP.

        3 out of 5 stars Being Somebody.......2004-12-09

        I didn't think this movie was going to be any good, but while watching it, I couldn't help but relate to the main character of Joe, played by Tim Allen. I related to him in the way anybody would. We've all been at a point where we just decide to give up on everything because we feel like nothing we do matters, and we're just going to fade away. Joe is going through a divorce, is never acknowledged at work, and doesn't really take charge of things the way he should.

        After being beaten up by an office bully (Patrick Warburton) in front of his daughter, Joe decides to change his life around, by challenging the bully to another fight. This causes him to actually get noticed in the workplace, and become "somebody". But the message here is not 'threaten somebody and you'll get everything', it's 'take charge of things and be confident, and you'll succeed'.

        The movie is funny and amusing, and it's got a good message. Tim Allen plays a somewhat different kind of role here, he's more of an introvert; more of a real person. Hayden Panettiere and Julie Bowen are both sweet as Joe's daughter and Joe's love interest. Worth a watch.
