This first teaming of the peerless stars of Sleepless in Seattle and You’ve Got Mail follows the follies of a stressed-out guy (Tom Hanks) in a dead-end job who is told he has a terminal “brain cloud”. A zany jillionaire (Lloyd Bridges) 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, romance and the charm of Ryan in three roles as the women in Joe's life have their way. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)

Wow, look at that haircut on Hanks! Take a back seat, Da Vinci Code. The basic premise of this movie looked promising, but in the end it turned into something standard and ordinary. Luckily, the pleasant cast and the fact it doesn’t take itself too seriously keeps its head above water (I want one of those suitcases). The young Meg Ryan was enchanting. 3x.
