70Joe Somebody sends audiences home happy but also with an awareness that happy endings have to be earned in real life as on the screen.
-
60Pretty formulaic stuff: bland self-empowerment tinged with warm fuzzies in all the right places. But what makes this "Somebody" something is Pasquin's deft touch and understanding with the material.
-
60An entertaining diversion and if you want a light film to just sit back and relax to, then this might just be your movie.
-
38It's a simple, wholesome parable, crashingly obvious, and we sit patiently while the characters and the screenplay slowly arrive at the inevitable conclusion. It needs to take some chances and surprise us.
