Editorial Review: Description: Tom Hanks writes, directs and co-stars in this refreshing, big-hearted comedy that captures the overnight triumph of an American rock band during the glory days of rock and roll. Amazon.com: Tom Hanks's debut as a writer and director is a lively, affectionate account of the shooting-star career of a forgotten (fictional) '60s pop-rock band called The Wonders--as in "one-hit wonders." Hanks plays the manager of the group, which includes drummer Guy "Sticks" Patterson (Tom Everett Scott) who works the floor at his parents' appliance store in Erie, Pennsylvania; Jimmy (Johnathon Schaech), the talented and temperamental lead singer and songwriter; Lenny (Steve Zahn), the goofy guitarist; and Ethan Embry as a geeky little fellow identified in the cast list only as "The Bass Player." The movie traces their meteoric rise and fall, from cutting their first record, to going on tour with a Phil Spector/Motown-type revue, to the internal tensions that lead to the band's disintegration, which comes when they fail to follow up their smash hit single, "That Thing You Do!" And that song, by the way, is so catchy it would definitely have been a hit in 1964--and deserves to be one today. This delightful movie would make a great double-bill with Allison Anders's wonderful Grace of My Heart. --Jim Emerson Average Rating:
 Rating:  - That Thing You Do!!!This is a great movie and the special features on this edition are nice :) Rating:  - The greatest movie plus 39 minutes equals Worst movie of all time!No one ever believes it until they see it, but you have to trust me on this if you want to maintain your perception of one of the greatest films of all time. The Director's Cut version of That Thing You Do is one of the worst movies you will EVER see. Save yourself the trouble and the money, because it may very well destroy one of the best movies for you if you watch it. I know it seems completely implausible, but it's entirely true. The editing job they did on That Thing You Do, I am convinced, ... Read More Rating:  - Stick with the originally released version"Director's cuts" are seldom as good as the original theatrical releases. There were undoubtedly good reasons to leave some celluloid on the cutting room floor in the first place. The additional scenes on this DVD not only do not add much to the original, they actually detract from it. The tight pacing of the shorter version is interrupted. SOme of the scenes introduce an element of sexuality into the film that takes away from one of the chief charms of the original. This was a movie that, ...

I was about eleven or so when the film was released and it was such a huge hit in my circle of friends. I probably saw the film nearly fifty times before my thirteenth birthday. Sadly, I haven't seen the movie since, but the minute my wife asked me `have you ever seen `That Thing You Do?' memories instantly came pouring back and I got really excited. When she told me that she had never seen it I immediately rented it and forced her to watch it with ... Read More Rating:  - That thing you doI love this movie!! I have been looking for it on DVD for a long time. The only thing that I was disappointed with was everyone once in a while subtitles will pop up on the bottom of the screen and won't match the movie and will be blurred.
