Joe Versus the Volcano Ratings & Reviews
- Nicole RobbinsNovember 1, 2025Fun, goofy, campy 80s movie.
- Peter BickfordOctober 19, 2025A memorable, underrated entry in the Spielberg oeuvre, full of memorable performances and iconic scenes. Possibly the best Meg Ryan performance ever, as well as the most thoughtful insights on both fashion and proper luggage you'll find.
- Tater12345June 16, 2025Typical leftist dribble believing what wacked out authority figures say and not questioning their opinions. Brain fog. Was that dr faucci?
- Capt. James A. Mason IIFebruary 1, 2025Quite original comedy. Hanks and multi-row Ryan do a fine job. Definitely holds your attention within this fun fantasy adventure. Amazing how it presents the finest luggage in surprising fun ways and that all luggage in the world will be measured against.
