Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, Lloyd Bridges, Robert Stack, Abe Vigoda, Dan Hedaya, Barry McGovern, Ossie Davis.
Follows the follies of a stressed-out guy in a dead-end job who is told he has a terminal "brain cloud." A zany jillionaire then 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, romantic comedy, and the charm of Ryan in 3 roles as the women in Joe's life have their way.
DVD, Region 1, widescreen presentation.
COMMUNITY REVIEWS
silly, but worth a watch submitted by Adam Graham on August 31, 2018, 11:28pm A funny classic!
Joe submitted by jibkidder on July 27, 2022, 10:38pm I saw this movie 3 times in the theater as a 6 year old. Why? I do not know! Something about it resonated. Was psyched to show it to my son. Trying to persuade me to see any Tom Hanks film from the last 25 years would be a tough sell, but it was a joy to revisit both this and "Big".
