Joe Somebody

Pros: I gave business to my niece's employer
Cons: Sometimes, they get films like Joe Somebody

Where did comedian Tim Allen and director John Pasquin find humor in John Scott Shepherd’s screenplay of “Joe Somebody?” For that matter, where did they find anything that even vaguely resembling workplace reality? Had the events in “Joe Somebody” taken...

Pros: Tim Allen
Cons: What was he thinking?

Last Saturday, I was bored and frustrated after spending the early afternoon plowing through some difficult reading for school, and I was looking for any excuse I could find to get away from my homework. So Dad proposed that I accompany my brother and...

Pros: Light hearted comedy, and romance
Cons: Can't complain it was what I expected it to be.

My husband was going out with some friends on Friday night so I figured I could watch a couple of movies that he normally wouldn’t watch. I had taken the kids to the library and the movie Joe Somebody caught my eye. I had never seen the movie, and ...

Pros: Jim Belushi has a couple of good groin related jokes
Cons: That's about it for humour, the romance is pretty flimsy

If ever there was a movie that was meant to appeal to me, at least from the view given in the previews, it should be Joe Somebody. Joe's a "nice guy," like me, Joe's raising his daughter on his own (like me) and the whole thing is set in...

Pros: Belushi's funny.
Cons: Bad perfomances all around, bad writing, a truly boring movie.

Set-up for the movie event:

We'd been sitting around the house for a while, not doing too much. At that point we decided we were going to go to the arcade, however, it was $10 Tuesday, and there was no way we were going to plunk $40 onto an...

Pros: This movie stars popular comic Tim Allen.
Cons: In this movie, popular comic Tim Allen isn't funny.

Good news, bad news. The good news is that this Tim Allen movie is available in DVD for an attractively low price - as you can see by checking the stores advertising here. The bad news is that this movie joins the ranks of Tim Allen near misses. Allen...

Pros: A nice big empty theatre so you can strecth your legs.
Cons: Tired plot, overused ending, undeveloped characters.

I would like to start this review with a quick summary of Tim allen's history in film. With the exception of The toy story movies his preformance has been Old hat. Jungle to Jungle and the santa claus movie were boring and predictable....

Pros: Tim Allen, amusing groin-related injuries, Jim Belushi
Cons: maybe a bit sappy

Well, the verdict is in. I have written eleven reviews on a range of different things, and apparently I am only good at reviewing movies. So, with this in mind, I am reviewing Joe Somebody, which I saw last night at my local theaters' Cheap Tuesday...

Pros: Allen and Bowen are Charming. Belushi is very good.
Cons: Not really a laugh aloud comedy

In this day and age many believe that it is important to be noticed in order to get ahead at work. While some people believe in keeping a low profile and letting their work do their talking, few can dispute that in order to get ahead, it is...

Pros: Really amusing, classic Tim Allen, keeps your attention.
Cons: Hate to see Tim Allen getting hit so much.

So, I sat down and watched Joe Somebody tonight and after all of the really bad movies that I've seen lately, I was really happy with this movie. Tim Allen has always been a great actor in my eyes, but I've never seen a role suit him as much as "Tim ...

Pros: Jim Belushi and Tim Allen
Cons: A cute movie for the underdog in all of us.

While this was not a laugh a minute comedy, it had its moments. Tim Allen's character was one that most people could relate to and I found myself cheering him on throughout the picture. It was sweet and charming and would recommend it for family...

Pros: Jim Belushi is funny, a few good jokes, a little bit of romance
Cons: flat characters, Tim Allen isn't as funny as usual

I will lay this movie out for you nice and easy. Here's the characters and plot: nice guy works for years at a company where no one hardly notices him or his work, sexy wellness coordinator digs this hard-working single father, daughter is a smart...

Pros: About a dozen funny lines and a positive message.
Cons: Too coarse for children and too bland for adults.

JOE SOMEBODY is the tale of a run-of-the-mill office worker (Tim Allen)who, after getting beaten up in the company parking lot, dubiously challenges his aggressor to a rematch because he was embarassed in front of his little girl and coworkers in the...

Pros: Actors play their characters, not just appear as themselves on screen
Cons: Villains underdeveloped, stereotyped

Surprisingly good screenplay, with added depth given by actors actually performing as the characters.
Tim Allen's character is not a carbon-copy of the character in "The Santa Clause." He faces a real crisis--how to rescue his manhood and...

Pros: Not the worst movie this year
Cons: Not the best eighter

Joe Scheffer (Tim Allen) is an longtime employee at a company, who is one of those people the bosses kinda overlook.

One day, Joe is bringing his daughter to work on "Bring you daughter to Work Day" when he gets into a fight over a parking...
