	Joe Somebody (2001)
		While Joe is initially content to hole himself away in his house, becoming unshaven and unkempt, he soon decides that the one thing that will make him feel better is revenge.
		Joe Somebody is odd in that it has all the elements required for a cheesy comedy, but repeatedly eschews laughs in favor of supposed heart-warming tactics.
		There are a few elements in Joe Somebody that work, with John Belushi's supporting role as the faded action star a definite high point, but this is mostly miss (as opposed to hit, of course).

	JOE SOMEBODY - DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Joe Somebody is so sloppily put together that when it comes time at last to end this cinematic thumbscrew, its moments of uplift make little, if any, sense because of the lack of care taken to establish a place for them.
		Joe Somebody is an alleged comedy about your average Joe (Tim Allen) getting, as he calls it, "bitch-slapped" in the company parking lot before his twelve-year-old daughter's eyes, not to mention several of his colleagues.
		Joe Somebody is an arduous test of endurance and patience: watching it from beginning to end is a Herculean endeavour that should qualify as credit at Marine boot camp, Beijing opera school, or pilates class.

	DVDAnswers.com - DVD Reviews - Joe Somebody (Region 1)
		The bond between father Joe and daughter Natalie is believable, as is the low-key romance between Joe and Meg.
		"Joe Somebody" is presented by 20th Century Fox in both 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen and 1.33:1 pan and scanned transfers.
		"Joe Somebody" was a bit of a box office disappointment for 20th Century Fox and while occasionally they'll make a big Special Edition release for a title that hasn't done so well theatrically, this is not one of those times.

	JOE SOMEBODY movie review (with clip, photo)
		Humiliated, Joe stays home from work, his manhood so compromised that he's not even thinking about a lawsuit (though his superiors fear he will).
		In short order, Joe is invited to play squash with the executives, given a raise and a promotion -- and gifted with company courtside seats to the Minnesota Timberwolves (cue the cameo by Minnesota's Gov. Jesse Ventura).
		But, in becoming popular, Joe loses track of what made him Joe, as he discovers when Meg tells him as much.

		Joe’s life takes a bit of an upward turn when he meets Meg (Julie Bowen), the company counselor who seems to be rather taken with him.
		Callie (Kelly Lynch), Joe’s eclectic ex-wife, confesses towards the end of the film that she is lonely and misses Joe terribly.
		Similarly, Joe complains loudly about Callie’s public displays of affection with her boyfriend, but he shows no qualms about kissing Meg while he is sitting right next to Callie at his daughter’s school play.

		Joe Scheffer (Tim Allen) is a regular guy wallowing in middle management when he decides to bring his daughter to work as part of an annual office tradition.
		Joe is soon accepted by the “in” crowd at the office, becoming a regular at after-work functions and squash matches.
		Joe has forgotten who he is, and although popularity may have resulted, he is not nearly as happy with himself.

		Joe's a "nice guy," like me, Joe's raising his daughter on his own (like me) and the whole thing is set in Minneapolis, the city I grew up in.
		Joe is really looking forward to "Take your daughter to work day," but alas, when the day comes, he gets beat up in the parking lot by a jerk who took his parking spot.
		Joe clearly still has a thing for his ex-wife, but he latches onto Meg fairly readily (can't say as I blame him :-) As for the ex-wife, Callie (Kelly Lynch,) one can't help but wonder what on Earth their relationship must have been like.

		When Joe protests, he is slapped and knocked down in front of his daughter, and decides, thinking it over, that he won't take her to work that day after all.
		By the end of "Joe Somebody," we are faced with the dismal prospect of being denied a climax, which, if it occurred, would be just as predictable as its substitute.
		I agree with all the sentiments in "Joe Somebody," and indeed I can see them being cobbled into a parable of considerable power, especially if Joe were played by somebody who really seems to have a capacity for violence.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Joe Somebody" review (2001) John Pasquin, Tim Allen, James Belushi
		"Joe Somebody" is a movie about an anonymous cubicle drone (Tim Allen) at a pharmaceutical company who beefs up over a period of weeks after a schoolyard scuffle with a bullying co-worker.
		Once word gets around the office that Joe wants a rematch when cocky Mark McKinney (Patrick Warburton) gets back from a disciplinary suspension (is this a corporation or a junior high school?), he instantaneously becomes Big Man On Campus (or office park as the case may be).
		As Joe starts to enjoy being popular, he loses sight of the Important Things In Life, alienating both the office cutie (Julie Bowen from TV's "Ed"), who was on his side to begin with, and his wise-beyond-her-years kid (Hayden Panettiere, "Remember the Titans"), who loves him just the way he was.

	Joe Somebody
		Joe Somebody is a boring morality tale that takes forever to get to its obvious point that looks, status, and reputation are not everything, especially compared to self-respect and friendship.
		Joe has three weeks to train for his fight and the film is only around ninety minutes, yet director John Pasquin (Small World, First Gentleman) makes everything feel longer.
		All the roles are cardboard cutouts of simplistic characters: the man with low self-esteem, the bully, the spunky young girl, and the beautiful, smart, perfect woman that the man ignores until he realizes it's too late.

	Joe Somebody - a Movie Review of The Phantom Tollbooth
		What a pleasant surprise this is. The commercials make Joe Somebody look like another awful romantic comedy, with little romance and even less comedy, but instead it's an enjoyable romp that avoids the ridiculous for the surprisingly understated.
		Joe slinks away but soon resolves to assert his manhood and challenge Mark to another fight.
		Joe Somebody isn't Oscar-winning fare by any means, but it is solid family entertainment that will leave you with a smile on your face.

	EI > Reviews > Joe Somebody (2001)
		Joe Somebody has some of these qualities and that may be enough for the "average Joe" family, but not in my house.
		Joe Somebody does showcase, once again, that Allen is convincing at both comedy and tragedy -- he can sell us on both roaring laughter and utter defeat.
		Despite a few chuckles, the film was constantly predictable, and Joe Somebody reads like the prototypical template for a film about a man who is down on his luck and finally decides to make that change.

		Joe had been promised a promotion a year ago, and he is still waiting for it to come through.
		Joe is also recently divorced, and his ex-wife Callie (Kelly Lynch) seems more concerned with dragging their daughter Natalie (Hayden Panettiere), to all manner of bizarre cultural events than dealing with issues brought on by the divorce.
		Joe is reluctant at best to listen to what she has to say even though Joe has liked her from afar for a while.

		When Joe's parking spot is taken by Mark McKinney (Patrick Warburton), he tries to reason with him, but only ends up being humiliated in front of the entire office.

		Joe begins as a pitiable human being and then goes on to being a glory hogging doofus.

		This particular Joe runs the A-V department at STARKe Pharmaceuticals, a company whose faked television commercials are funnier in the half minute that they get than the entirety of this movie.
		In the meantime, Joe is the toast of the Corp. He gets to hang out with the "real" executives at the private athletic club on the 13th floor.

	JOE SOMEBODY
		She would really hate Joe Somebody, a new film that shows the transformation of a downtrodden corporate drone into a confident, sharply dressed player after he is slapped around like a two-dollar whore while his terrified daughter looks on.
		Joe is recently divorced, and his ex-wife Callie (Kelly Lynch, Charlie's Angels) is practically balling some hunky actor-wannabe (Ken Marino, Dawson's Creek) right in front of him every time he picks up his annoyingly precocious daughter Natalie (Hayden Panettiere, Remember the Titans), who is, at least initially, sexually ambiguous.
		The rest of Somebody depicts Joe taking self-defense lessons from a washed-up action star (James Belushi, Return to Me) and gaining confidence as he is accepted into a new, more popular crowd as Natalie and Meg watch in horror.

	Joe Somebody (2001)
		Joe Somebody is one of those movies that makes you silently promise you'll seek out an independent film next, even if it's badly dubbed Hungarian.
		Before his alarmed daughter's innocent eyes, Joe is slapped rudely to the ground, losing his pride and his cell phone.
		Instead, Joe slinks home with his tail between his legs and lapses into a classically overused "Hollywood depression" — too much beer and junk food, and letting his five-o'clock-shadow grow out a bit.

	Eye - Holiday movie guide - 12.20.01
		Joe Somebody is a movie unsure of what it wants to be: a drama about a man wrestling his personal demons or a light-entertainment vehicle for its star, Tim Allen.
		Allen plays Joe Scheffer, an amiable but undistinguished cog in a corporate pharmaceutical machine who finds his profile raised after issuing a challenge to the office bully (Patrick Warburton) who smacked him around in a dispute over a parking space.
		The scenes where Joe trains in the dojo employ standard knee-to-the-groin pratfalls, but there's a nice, unforced intimacy to his relationship with his daughter, and the cute-as-a-button Bowen makes the most of her surprisingly developed role.
