The team of thesp Tim Allen and helmer John Pasquin reunite for a third round of box office alchemy in the pleasant "Joe Somebody." Cleverly positioned just two days after "The Lord of the Rings'" opening, this benign, PG-rated venture should serve as ideal counter-programming for parents of younger children and families seeking to avoid long "Rings" lines. While the sheer glut of holiday product seems sure to keep "Joe's" grosses closer to those of 1997's "Jungle 2 Jungle" than to 1994's "The Santa Clause" (which remains Allen's highest-grossing live action pic), Fox can expect a comfortable ride through the holiday season with this agreeably commercial attraction.
