Despite its great idea, this romantic fantasy struggles to delight, but Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan enjoy themselves, and their stardust rubs off on the rest of the film. After doctor Robert Stack tells Hanks he has six months to live, Hanks agrees to sail to a Pacific island and jump into a volcano. There are lovely sight gags, snappy lines and lots of amusing oddball incidents in the quirky story. Ryan shows her versatility by playing three roles.
