That Thing You Do | Hitchens Virtual Theatre

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.

Synopsis: A portrait of a small-town 1960s rock-n-roll band looking to follow in the footsteps of the Fab Four. Reading like an episode of Behind the Music, the tale of obscurity to fame and back to obscurity includes a self-important lead singer, a cut-up guitarist, a savvy label rep, and a jazz-loving drummer and the young woman he finally realizes he loves.
