A comedy by the two time Oscar winner Tom Hanks. He writes, directs and co-stars in this refreshing big-hearted comedy that captures the over night success of an American rock band in the glory days of rock-n-roll.
The musical stars Tom Everett Scott (plays the drummer), Liv Tyler (a great support to the band), Jonathan Schaech, Steve Zahn, Ethen Embry and Tom Hanks (Playtone executive).
The movie is based on this rock-n-roll band “The Wonders”. The local group never dreamed of being signed by one of the greatest music labels “Playtone Records”. This marks the start of an amazing and crazy adventure and there’s no stopping after that. Success just becomes the way of life…. The signature tune “That thing you do” skyrockets to the top of the charts and the band becomes the biggest teen sensation of America.
The movie is based on a true story of this ONE hit wonder rock band. They never came back as a group again.
The film is packed with original music evoking the films colorful era. The original score by Howard Shore is one of the greatest highlights of the movie. The sexy hot Liv Tyler was first time introduced.
All in all a big-hearted musical comedy.
