Laughs erupt when Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan fall in love and fall in lava in Joe Versus the Volcano, a colorful, stylish laugh-quake 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-collar 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.
Hypochondriac Joe Banks finds out he has six months to live, quits his dead end job, musters the courage to ask his co-worker out on a date, and is then hired to jump into a volcano by a mysterious visitor.

All time favorite comedyThis movie is loaded with memorable characters, funny re-quotable lines, and the plot is so ridiculous you'd have to have a brain cloud to not enjoy it. One of my all time favorites..Score: 5/5

Roger Ebert gave this 3.5 out of 4 stars!The message behind this movie is phenomenal. Roger Ebert said of this movie "... [that] it is new and fresh and not shy of taking chances. And the dialogue in it is actually worth listening to, because it is written with wit and romance." I love this movie and am so glad it's finally come to iTunes..Score: 5/5
Weird fun fantasy comedyThis movie gets overlooked when people talk about collaborations between Meg Ryan & Tom Hanks. Very interesting performances by Hanks & especially Ryan in some very strange settings. One of my personal favorites..Score: 5/5
ALL WE NEED ARE THE BURBS!!!!!This is another classic,but if itunes you could please add THE BURBS from1989,i would bouy it and that is a classic. The movie even has the kid from the lost boys and dream another dream.The movie is not bad for kids,so you can't lose with this,both parents and kids would love the burbs.I'm sick of all the new stuff you have to more or less watch when your children are sleeping.The burbs has humor twists and carrie ficsher, i believe.

Away from the things of man,,,I watched this movie along time ago and little pieces of it have been on my mind ever since. Some of it is slow and a bit silly at times bur most of it is full of heart, wit and romance. Still love it!.Score: 5/5
Just really awfulI was looking at what's new on iTunes and I came across this. The only way I would purchase this movie is if iTunes credited my account for downloading this horrible film. Seriously, don't even rent it..Score: 1/5
