Summary: Charming
Comment: This movie is under-appreciated. I remember when it came out and how comedians and others would mock it. You have to take it for what it is. To me it's just a light-hearted parody about how life can be so mundane and as a society we can get so caught up in the seriousness of life and having to make money at any cost that we forfeit the joys along the way.
I loved the music too. It was all just fun for me.

Summary: Charmer
Comment: What an incredible movie! My father was the first to get me hooked on this movie, and its random storyline has enthralled me ever since. More fable than true story, it still manages to be humorous, random, and heartfelt all at once. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan have their usual chemistry, leading this film to be one that will stay in the heart.

Summary: Quirky humor

Summary: Joe vs. the Volcano
Comment: Joe vs. the Volcano is an excellent "little" movie that defies categorization and is in my all-time top five films. Written and directed by John Shanley this is sort of an adventure, kind of a romantic comedy, and also a spiritual odessy all wrapped up into one entertaining film. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan play their roles well and are surrounded by other notables: Lloyd Bridges, Robert Stack,Carol Kane, Dan Hedaya, Ossie Davis, Abe Viggoda, Amanda Plummer, to name just a few who play their minor roles to perfection. Not just a "fun-feel-good" movie, Joe vs. the Volcano will leave you feeling happy, personally challenged, and wanting to watch it again, and again!

Summary: Silly concept but hey it's Tom and Meg!
Comment: Joe Versus the Volcano is one wacky film of the '90s. This was the first film with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, the other two are Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail. This particular film is not as good as the other two but still engaging. Hanks and Ryan have the most amazing chemistry together, you can't take your eyes off of them. The concept is so silly but hey this a romantic comedy, you can call this film a guilty pleasure of sorts.

Laughs erupt when Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan fall in love and fall in lava in Joe Versus the Volcano, a colorful, stylish laughquake written and directed by Moonstruck Oscar winner John Patrick Shanley. As Joe, Hanks adds to his phenomenal string of successes that includes, Splash, Big and Turner & Hooch. And Meg Ryan follows up her starmaking When Harry Met Sally...with three roles, playing each of the women in Joe's life. When we first meet Joe, he has the white-color blues. Every day is Monday, the boss is always in a bad mood and the cumulative stresses convince Joe he has a terminal condition called a "brain cloud." So when a zany jillionaire pops up and offers him a fleeting taste of the good life, Joe leaps at the chance. All he must do in return is leap into a volcano. But funny things happen on the way from the urban isle of Manhattan to the remote tropical isle of Waponi Woo... Out of the corporate frying pan. Into the fire. Is Joes doomed to be the last of the red-hot lovers? Not if the forces of courage, love and comedy have their way.DVD Features:
