Rating: ***
Cast: Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, Robert Stack
Here's a really bizarre and offbeat film about a pencil pusher (Tom Hanks) who's shackled to the system and how he deals with the news that he only has six months to live. He decides to quit his meaningless job and live life to the fullest, and ultimately commit ritual suicide by jumping into a ceremonial volcano. Impossibly adorable Meg Ryan shows up in three roles to help move the love interest story along and she steals the show. Quirky humor and eccentric characters also keep you interested throughout Joe's unusual adventure.
