Joe Versus The Volcano

Starring: Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, Lloyd Bridges, et al.

Laughs erupt when Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan fall in love -- and fall in lava -- in Joe Versus the Volcano, a stylish comedy written and directed by Moonstruck Academy Award winner* John Patrick Shanley. This first teaming of the peerless stars of Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail follows the follies of a stressed-out guy (Hanks) in a dead-end job who is told he has a terminal "brain cloud." A zany jillionaire (Lloyd Bridges) makes him an offer that gives him a fleeting taste of the good life. In exchange, he must journey to a Pacific island and leap into a volcano. Is Joe doomed to be the last of the red-hot lovers? Not if the forces of imagination, romance and the charm of Ryan in three roles as the women in Joe's life have their way.

Customer Reviews

A leap of faith

Most people will recognize their workplace and co-workers here. The single flower trying to survive at the beginning is impressive. There is appropriate music and three Meg Ryan’s (DeDe/Angelica Graynamore/Patricia Graynamore). The cast lineup was perfect for each part. There is not a dull moment, and everything is relative to the message. My favorite Scene is where Joe purchases luggage. I would like to find that store. Luggage Salesman: This is our premier steamer trunk, it's all-handmade, only the finest materials. It's even watertight, tight as a drum. If I had the need and the wherewithal, Mr. Banks, this would be my trunk of choice. Joe Banks: I'll take four of them. Luggage Salesman: May you live to be a thousand years old, sir. Right after that, I would pick the moon on the ocean scene; here Joe is in the vast evening ocean, and a huge moon is rising on the horizon. So, get out your orange soda, sit on your trunks, and watch.
