Product Description
From the Back Cover
Funnyman Tim Allen is Joe Scheffer, a mild-mannered single dad who feels overworked and underappreciated at the office. When one day the company bully knocks him to the ground in front of his daughter, Joe vows to stop being a Nobody and wreak his revenge.
Joe Somebody is a heartwarming romantic comedy that centres on one man’s amusing struggle to sort out his life and his priorities, to prove himself to his daughter and endear himself to the girl of his dreams.

A good film for all the family with a subtle storyline and lots of humour and drama.A lot of adults and children will be able to relate to Tim Allen's decision to take on the bully - in this case the bully at the place he works.He becomes everybody's hero for doing so - that is everyone but his young daughter who fears he'll get beaten up and humiliated.The scenes where Jim Belushi is teaching Tim Allen karate are hilarious and the love affair that develops between Allen and Kelly Lynch (his work colleague)will keep die hard romantics interested.

Here in the UK we have the famous BBC. With the BBC there's something that serious film lovers are aware of. Namely that BBC1 shows what are considered to be duff movies late at night during the working week. The reason for this is that children are in bed and so are the adults who have to get up in the morning, thus viewing figures are not of any great importance. And mainly, the BBC gets to fulfil it's showing quotas for film's they have the rights too but wish they hadn't. So when I saw that this Tim Allen starrer was showing at midnight on a Monday night, I didn't expect much other than an average time filler of a movie. So it proved.
It's a safe parable piece about male egos, bullies and the reaction of others to violence. Hell there's even a little romance in there to make sure the piece stays on the warm side of the safe haven bed. Tim Allen turns in an engaging performance as the guy beat up in front of his young daughter who then gets some martial arts training with the intention of beating said attacker to a pulp. Once the word is out that he is going to fight this guy, everyone starts to react differently to him. Co-workers want to play squash with him, his ex now finds him sexy, you know, that sort of thing. Naturally the ending doesn't hold any great surprises, this is a message movie and its message is delivered with all the subtlety of a thunder storm. But it is watchable, family friendly stuff. Even if, when all is said and done, its vanishes quickly from the memory about two seconds after the credits have rolled. 4/10

Predictable but very watchable
This is a very predictable story but Allen's appeal and comic delivery of a line makes it very watchable. Read more

Awesome Film
I saw Joe Somebody on Sky couple of months back, and i thought it was an awesome film. It is a moving, heart warming film with plenty of laughs to keep you watching. A must see
