That Thing You Do! [Blu-ray] [1996]

This movie gets no attention, which is ridiculous as it's a fantastic, fun film. Tom Hanks directing and acting at his finest. The entire cast is phenomenal. The film disappointed at the box office, but I think it may have been released at just an awkward time for cinema. These days films like this are taken in with a big heart, but in the middle 90's, movies were pretty much falling apart. The bluray is pretty good in terms of quality. Appears to be a new transfer instead of rehashing the DVD, but it wasn't filmed on prime stock film so it's hard to say.

One of the best family-friendly movies you will ever watch! Catchy original tune (That thing you do!) written by the late Adam Schlesinger. Features a great cast (Steve Zahn is a riot) and excellent directing by Tom Hanks. This version has the directors cut, which admittedly shines a little more light on the characters - but frankly I prefer the quicker pacing of the standard cut having grown-up watching it. You will NOT be disappointed. Check out the 'Watch Party' on Youtube with the band members when you pop this thing in!

Freaking love this movie! This is one of those movies that whenever it's on TV while I'm flipping through channels, I will find myself watching at whatever point it's at. I finally decided I should just buy it, so I can watch it anytime. I've watched it at least twice since buying it. It's just makes you feel good, and is well made. I think it's Tom Hanks' directorial debut, but don't quote me on that. The extras are kind of fun too. Heck, I might just go put this on the blu ray player right now. Enjoy!

Great movie. One of my old VHS Films that I hadn't yet upgraded. The director's cut adds about 30 minutes, or so, to the run time. Some of those scenes are great, some I can see why they cut. Still hilarious, loved seeing Howie Long in the DC.

I find that a lot of people aren’t familiar with this movie, but it’s a lot of fun and has a catchy soundtrack!

The music score is so cool, Tom Hanks is a classic actor, the actors was extremely talented, they carried this movie. The music has a lot of great beats.

The Music. It's about what it was like for America when the so-called age of innocence was reaching twilight. The Music was fantastic and this film catches a glimpse of what that was like. What passes for music today is cRap. There. I said it because it needs saying. Not everything about the 60s was great but the early Music of the times including the Beach Boys, the Beatles, and so many of the great "Girl Groups" like the Ronettes made music that gave meaning to those years. T his film captures that time. It is worth the price of admission, whether or not you were there.

Really fun and good movie about a band trying to get big.
