Joe Versus the Volcano description Joe Versus the Volcano is a true early-1990s cult film. This fantasy-comedy was the first pairing of Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, yet it polarizes viewers like a Blue Velvet or Happiness. As the only directorial effort from John Patrick Shanley (the Oscar-winning writer of Moonstruck), it is something special, and it's hard to re ... review details |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | But the timing's off.... and that ain't all. |
| This is about the dumbest movie ever written. I'm only giving it two stars because that's who's in it, two stars (Hanks & Ryan).
First off, who is Tom's character in love with? The first Meg Ryan (the first character she plays), the second Meg Ryan (the second character she plays) or the last one who just so happens to be the Boss' daughter (the boss who sent him to a quack doctor (or is he) to convince him to jump into the volcano)? Then miracle of miracle Hanks & Ryan are saved at the end, by a volcanic "belch" and thus un-appeased the island pulls an Atlantis. Face facts, Tom Hanks is a hypochondriatic who even at the end shows no signs of a cure from that disease. Except for the comical hijinks from Abe Vigoda and the other islanders what the heck does this movie offer? Sure some reviewers allude the opening scences of poor Hanks character's life as Metropolisque, but really in a movie that's supposed to be a comedy? I don't think this movie knew what it wanted to be so it just drifted, much like Joe's interest in all of Ryan's characters. |
