That Thing You Do!

In 1964, a band forms one afternoon, write one song, play it at a local band contest, build a fanbase (off that one song), get a record deal(based on that one song), appear in movies and tv (playing that one song) and ultimately disband. Not bad overall though. I just wish I could remember what the heck the name of that song was.

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).

To be fair, it's an inoffensive tribute to rock sensations of the 60s that didn't really win me over or turn me off. What did bug me, though, was the theme song (heard many times throughout the movie) that became pretty grating.

Liked it when I first saw it, but it's one of those that doesn't last in the mind

Okay for a Saturday afternoon viewing. Insteresting, a little Beatle era, but not the best.
