Movie Reviews of Volunteers
Movie Review: ok
Summary: 4 Stars
i love tom hanks and if you do too this is him at his best, so you should own big too, if not go get itMovie Review: John Candy is always funny
Summary: 3 Stars
"Volunteers" was a comedy that has some laughs but should have had more considering the talent involved. Tom Hanks, John Candy, Rita Wilson, and Tim Thomerson star and do their best with the material. Hanks plays a rich Yale graduate who is in trouble with gambling debts. When his father refuses to pay, he escapes by getting on a Peace Corp plane. Wilson and Candy play people who actually volunteered for the Peace Corp and Thomerson is the government representative in Thailand. The movie's biggest problem is too many plotlines and not enough time to work them all out properly. But John Candy is funny as he always is as "Tom Tuttle from Tacoma" and Thomerson turns out to be CIA and nuts (his knife is named Mike and he holds conversations with it). The volunteers build a bridge that it turns out is wanted by the US government, the communists and a local drug lord. John Candy gets brainwashed by the commies, Rita and Tom fall in love and eventually the bridge gets blown up.
Volunteers isn't a great movie, but it has some laughs and is better the second time you watch it.
Movie Review: A Movie Tom Hanks would like to forget
Summary: 1 Stars
I'd actually like to give this 0 stars.This lame film set in Southeast Asia is a complete waste of time.
I love John Candy and miss him very much, but would not watch this film again even if it was the only way to see John. And Tom Hanks has become one of greatest livingg actors.
That being said this film stinks. It is a poorly written about some peace corps types dealing with some way over done CIA types.
Rent or by Plains, Trains or Automobiles, you'll be a lot happier.
Movie Review: horrible

This is *the* cinematic albatross around Tom Hank's neck. One of the worst movies I've seen, we rented it when a friend was leaving for the Peace Corp and /everyone/ fell asleep. Am I making myself clear? This is a BAD movie.
