Perhaps the phenomenal popularity of TV's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eEverybody Loves Raymond\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e made Ray Romano proceed too cautiously in selecting this small-town comedy as his film debut; without a live audience and an endless supply of punchy one-liners at his disposal, his domestic everyman persona seems a bit lost, ill-defined and uncertain how to respond when a former U.S. President (Gene Hackman) (1) moves to the quiet, jovial Maine burg of Mooseport, where Romano's the beloved plumber and hardware store proprietor; (2) proceeds to make moves on Ray's long-time girlfriend (Maura Tierney, from \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eER\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e); and (3) runs against our ol' pal Ray in Mooseport's homespun mayoral election. Hackman's got some stellar support from Marcia Gay Harden and Rip Torn (and, to a lesser degree, Fred Savage), and Tierney's a pleasure as always, but director Donald Petrie (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eMiss Congeniality\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e) can't spin gold from straw; Tom Schulman's screenplay aims to please everyone, draining the energy from what might, in other hands, have been a deliciously devious premise. There's such a thing as being \"niced\" to death, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eWelcome to Mooseport\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is proof. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eJoe Somebody\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e It's brains over brawn as Tim Allen reunites with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Santa Clause\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e director John Pasquin for this amiable comedy about a devoted dad who almost lets his fists do the talking. After being humiliated by the office bully (played by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Tick\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's Patrick Warburton), corporate nebbish Joe Scheffer (Allen) vows revenge. He becomes an office celebrity, taking kung fu lessons with a has-been action star (Jim Belushi) and preparing for a rematch against his tormentor. Kid stuff, to be sure, but \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eJoe Somebody\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e benefits from Allen's Everyman appeal, especially when he's getting his values adjusted by a caring colleague (Julie Bowen, from TV's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eEd\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e), or trying to make good with his daughter (Hayden Panettiere) and ex-wife (Kelly Lynch). The comedy is pure vanilla, and the good-guy lessons are learned with bland, family-fare efficiency, but the Allen-Bowen romance is gently engaging, and Allen's flair for slapstick doesn't go to waste. As a pacifist hero, this Joe is somebody to root for. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Used Purchases","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48512020447453,"sku":"024543410775","price":34.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/51TCWZHF5QL.jpg?v=1788720915","url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/products\/welcome-to-mooseport-joe-somebody","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
