JOE VERSUS THE VOLCANO is a US romantic comedy in which a man diagnosed with a terminal illness takes up an offer to go on a mysterious trip to a tropical island in order to surrender himself to a volcano.

threat and horror
Mild threat involves a ship capsizing during a storm, leaving people stranded in open water.
language
Bad language is mild ('shit', 'bullshit', 'crap', 'piss') and very mild ('screw', 'hell' and 'God').
sex
There are mild verbal references to people sleeping together, a man suggesting his workplace is like a "used rubber", and brief breast nudity in the form of a pipe resembling a mermaid.
rude humour
Rude humour includes visual and verbal references to testicles, rectal probes and dog poop.
suicide and self-harm
A woman expresses suicidal ideation and struggles with her mental health in one scene. She is previously seen taking unnamed prescription medication. Other references to suicide are more fantastical in treatment and relate to a man's mission of ending his life by leaping into a volcano. However, the story ultimately communicates important messages about what it means to live a happy and fulfilling life.
additional issues
References are made to a man's terminal illness and his seeming hypochondria over certain symptoms. There are occasional scenes of people drinking and smoking. A man briefly handles a dead octopus.
