That Thing You Do! is a very memorable movie for me. It was one of those movies I saw at the small town movie theater where I lived. It was full of people who would become some of my favorite actors of all time. It's funny, charming, and relatable. Looking back at the movie I realize that the middle isn't very interesting. The title song gets played a bit too much, even though it is a catchy song (Hell! It was actually a top 40 hit when it debuted). But, it's just a lot of fun.

Tom Hanks' directing debut is fun and light, but also seems to leave all of the color out of the 60's one-hit wonder scene. The music is fun and catchy and suits the one-hit wonder setting well.

How do you enter into writing a song that you're supposed to get sick of by the end of the movie. It has to be catchy yet cloying has to be the worst producer's note of all time. I'll be honest, I mostly just remember that guy injuring his crotch on a parking meter (I really hope that happens in this).
