Joe Somebody

Joe Somebody (2001) is a family comedy starring Tim Allen — watch it online on iFILM, directed by John Pasquin. Joe Scheffer has spent years as the office's most forgettable employee: no enemies, no promotions, no presence. One morning in the parking lot, office bully Mark shoves him in front of his daughter, and something shifts.

Joe decides he's getting a rematch. He signs up for martial arts lessons from a washed-up B-movie action star played by James Belushi, reworks his look, and challenges Mark to a public showdown. Word travels fast, and the man no one ever noticed suddenly has fans, a better parking spot, and his boss's attention. The problem: his daughter and the company's employee-assistance coordinator, played by Julie Bowen, both liked the old Joe just fine.

Pasquin keeps the tone easy and the message earnest — this is a comedy about a guy who chases toughness and finds it's not the thing he actually needed. Light, good-natured, and a solid pick for a family night in. Stream Joe Somebody online on iFILM.
