Review of Joe Versus the Volcano (1990) by Darien S — 28 Sep 2012
Didn't see this when it came out because it looked sort of dumb, and then nobody else said they liked it.... It is awesome, though. Tom Hanks was clearly still having to, you know, "act" for a living, and once or twice (especially early on) comes close to breaking away from the tired TH schtick.
Same for Meg Ryan. And the whole thing is so wonderfully abstract. It's like "Brazil" but with more of a goofy, happy, community theater production feel.
