Joe
Scheffer is a mild-mannered single dad who feels overworked
and under-appreciated 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 heart-warming romantic comedy that looks
at what happens when an ordinary man realises that his priorities
in life are all wrong. The guy has already been knocked about
by his ex-wife, his boss at work and when the office bully
tries to make him look bad in front of his daughter everything
gets too much for him.
There
are some great scenes that will have children in stitches
and have adults smiling (including the great drug advertisement
played near the opening of the movie), but it is the dysfunctional
parent aspect that will have parents sitting up and questioning
themselves. Throughout the whole of this movie Tim Allen's
character has to be about the worst parent in the World. His
daughter comes right at the back of the line before his new
friends, girlfriends and ambitions.
James
Belushi is perfect in the role as martial arts teacher and
mentor to the wimpy Scheffer - which is staggering as he doesn't
actually do that much but fight and be sarcastic.
The
conclusion of the movie is satisfactory, being a little on
the sentimental 'they all lived happy ever after' side but
then what are you expecting from a PG movie? Allen gunning
the office bully down and then bathing in his blood? I think
not.
There
are enough extras here to keep the little ones happy including
a feature length audio commentary by director John Pasquin
and producer Brian Reilly; a featurette on the fight choreography;
four deleted scenes and a hidden Easter egg.
Good
wholesome family entertainment which may make you question
your place in the World.
