That Thing You Do!

That Thing You Do That Thing You Do!

Set in the 1964 and steeped in Americana, this Tom Hanks's directorial debut chronicles the meteoric rise--and equally quick demise--of a music group called the Wonders. The talented musicians start out playing in neighborhood joints. However, that changes after they meet a shrewd record executive (Hanks), who advises the boys on how to dress, act and sing. Soon their song, "That Thing You Do," hits number one, and the group is on top of the world. Unfortunately, the song is the Wonders's only hit. And that's just one reason why the group's collapse happens so quickly... In addition to Hanks, the film features Tom Everett Scott, Steve Zahn and Liv Tyler.
