The film, featuring Tom Hanks as a man unhappy with his work, conveys a worthwhile idea, though it’s undeniably strange. That's essentially the essence of this 1990 release. The plot involves him being told he has only six months to live and then agreeing to spend a short time enjoying himself before meeting his end by going into a volcano on an unnamed island in the Pacific. It quickly becomes clear that the story leans toward fantasy rather than realism. There's a significant point to be made about not trading away your life – your aspirations – for a meager salary at a factory or similar situation. However, the ending falls flat with what feels like a silly, cartoonish vibe reminiscent of *Gilligan’s Island*. Meg Ryan appears in a role that branches into three different aspects. GRADE: C+
