Joe Versus the Volcano

A mostly terrible mishmash of David Lynch, Tim Burton, Terry Gilliam and Mel Brooks. But Hanks and Ryan are always likeable when they appear together on screen, so at least there is that.

I think this is the only sentimental love movie that I am sentimental about... but there's always something with you Joe isn't there.

My vote for the single-most underrated film of all-time.

Modern-day fairy tale about sacrifice, existentialism, and how cool it would be if Meg Ryan were no longer plastic and crazy. Not a perfect movie, but original and visionary. Manages to be just plain weird, in an enjoyable way.

Wow, this was god-awful. And as others have said, it actually started out really promising. But the moment he accepts the job, it starts to go downhill in one hell of a hurry, and hits rock bottom when you get to an island full of natives. I think I can say everything that needs to be said about the portrayal of said natives when I tell you that two of the natives are (over)played by Abe Vigoda and Nathan Lane. And why is Meg Ryan 3 different people, 2 of them unbearably obnoxious?

The best performance of Meg Ryan's career.

Under rated - to me an inspiring movie.

the incredible opening sequence devolves into a bunch of pap and ham that straight up just makes me feral. someone tried to pass this sh*t off as deep. also it's incredibly, unbelievably racist

A mostly forgotten and very quirky comedy with strong, and not heavy handed despite the material, performances by Hanks and Ryan. The film's sincere plot relishes in its hyper-fictional universe, that many would find borderlines fantasy, but never stops taking itself seriously. Weakly filmed, the script does most of the heavy lifting. Nice, if underutilized, set locations also help. This is no Citizen Kane but go in expecting a refreshing, whimsical comedy and you'll be satisfied.
