Rating: 3/5 --
Often funny premise, but comedy cast makes it work.

Rating: 1/5 --
As a satire on the 1960s, the film, directed by Nicholas Meyer, is more sour than silly.
Spirituality and Practice
A little melancholy may blend with the laughter ''Volunteers'' draws at the expense of those earnest days when a President was urging people to ask what they could do for their country.

...Funny....[Hanks is] stylishly droll...
New York Times
Rating: 3/5 --
One of the better films from Hanks' minor-league, pre-"Big" career.

No Time After Time or Star Trek 6, but you gotta love Candy.
New Times
Rating: 3/4 --
Hanks is excellent and has a way with funny lines that marks him as one of the better droll comic actors, if given the right material. Here, writers Ken Levine and David Isaacs have provided the actors with solid jokes.

Product Description:
In a desperate attempt to escape the bookies to whom he owes a lot of money, a playboy enlists in the Peace Corps and is sent on a mission to Thailand. Far from being an altruist, however, this capitalist is soon turning a profit and starts improving the desperate conditions around him, much to the chagrin of the idealists who volunteered. An underrated farce.
