|  | OSCAR WINNER NO........ENJOYABLE ROMANTIC COMEDY....... YES! |  |
You know, sometimes you just want to watch a movie that doesn't tax your brain. "Joe Somebody" is a good romantic comedy that has a message I'm sure we can all agree on "Be Yourself"! The cast seems to be enjoying themselves and that carries over on to the viewer. I don't think Tim Allen has ever been more likable and the romantic chemistry between him and quirky cutie Julie Bowen is believable. Jim Belushi is very amuzing as a "has been" action hero star turned boozer Karate instructor, so the next time you wake up in one of those "I don't want to do anything moods" It might be time to watch "Joe Somebody" It just might have the inspirational fluff you need! lol! The DVD transfer is very good and is a worthy purchase. You can find this for under $5.00.
July 24, 2007JOE 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.
May 29, 2006 |  | A nice picture with my idol |  |
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.
July 28, 2005This 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.
April 24, 2005Not 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.
