We continue Tom Hanks-uary with a film that features Hanks playing someone who's immensely unlikable: Volunteers. The Hollywood Outsider's Aaron Peterson stops by to talk all about Hanks, Candy, and everything else wrong with this strange little comedy.

Starring Hanks, John Candy, and Rita Wilson, the three join the Peace Corps and head to Thailand for fun, fellowship, and some light heroin smuggling. It's a weird premise and an even stranger film in execution.
