The main lesson I learned from Joe Versus the Volcano is that highly talented people can make some pretty bad movies. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan do their best, which is considerable, to put some life into a plot that reminds me of a high school skit (or maybe Saturday Night Live!) There's no character development, and most of the situations are not funny, or even believable. Except for the joy of watching Hanks and Ryan together, this is one to miss.
