Audience Reviews

mark g Way too cutesy and sugary. None of it rings realistic or genuine. Pure fluff. I thought it was such a safe movie, too safe. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/21/24 Full Review alan g Great movie about the music scene in the 60s. Tom Hanks and the cast do a great job. A must watch. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/04/24 Full Review Mike M This is for those of us who have dreamed about being in a music group that actually hit the big time. A movie I find rewatchable. There are so many great lines that are delivered so very well. It left me wanting more so I saw the uncut version. The scenes that were edited out were very interesting. However I agree with the edits. The additional scenes tended to slow down the movie way too much. Getting back to "That Thing You Do" as it was released, I found it to be a wholesome funny story with some great dramatic parts. It never resorted to cheap cringeworthy humor. "That Thing You Do" is a great reflection of life in the more innocent time 1964. Without relying on previously released tracks the new music captures the spirit of the times. The soundtrack is a keeper and available on PlayTone Records! It's a shame "That Thing You Do" isn't mentioned more often in Mr Hanks film biography. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/14/24 Full Review Jared B Great first half the movie. The ending is so abrupt it definitely takes away from the experience. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/25/23 Full Review Ron Y It's a musical comedy classic, a seasoned musician would agree on that, especially if they didn't get a record deal or big time venue. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/04/23 Full Review Pat W The characters were interesting. The acting was good. The movie's depiction of a newly popular rock band struggling to navigate their way through the record industry and grappling with their own internal conflicts felt realistic. However, the film's pacing starts to stagger towards the end, and the ending itself just doesn't feel quite right. Like my driving after a night out at the bar, the script lacked the direction it needed to succeed completely. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
