This film foreshadows Tom Hanks' career perfectly. He's got a Da Vinci Code mullet, he's lost at sea a la Cast Away, and Meg Ryan is in all the others.
Like Joe on the rim of the volcano, this movie teeters on a thin edge between charmingly quirky and really bad. Overall I'm glad I saw it. I enjoyed the setup and I liked where it was going until the plot went drifting off to sea.
