Synopsis:
Laughs erupt when Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan fall in love - and fall in lava - in 'Joe Versus the Volcano'. This first teaming of the peerless stars of 'Sleepless in Seattle' and 'You've Got Mail' follows the follies of a stressed-out guy (Tom 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

“I’m not sick except for this terminal disease?” - Joe Versus the Volcano review by LJ

Spoiler Alert
12/04/2025

As the first pairing of Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, I guess I was expecting something similar to their later romcoms but I was not prepared for how weird this adventure comedy is. It could have been written by Terry Gilliam as it is set in a satirical dystopia filled with bizarre imagery and Ryan plays multiple characters but it is ultimately very cold.
