Synopsis

That Thing You Do! recounts a fable of a pop rock band formed a year after the Beatles took America by storm in early 1964. Jazz aficionado Guy Patterson, unhappily toiling in the family appliance store, is recruited into the band the Oneders (later renamed the Wonders) after regular drummer Chad breaks his arm. After Guy injects a four/four rock beat into lead singer Jimmy's ballad, the song's undeniable pop power flings the Wonders into a brief whirlwind of success, telling the tale of many American bands who attempted to grab the brass ring of rock and roll in the wake of the British Invasion.

The music in the film effectively enhances the storytelling, adding depth and emotion to the characters' journey as they navigate the highs and lows of fame and success. The songs like That Thing You Do! and Dance with Me Tonight are particularly memorable and showcase the band's musical talent.

1/10

The music felt dated and uninspired, failing to capture the energy and excitement of the 1960s rock and roll scene it was trying to portray. It felt more like a caricature of the era rather than an authentic representation.

The lyrics of the songs were often cliché and predictable, lacking the clever wordplay and emotional depth that can make a song truly resonate with the listener. I found myself disengaged and uninterested in the storytelling aspect of the music.

I found the soundtrack of That Thing You Do! to be lacking in diversity and depth. The songs, while catchy, all seemed to blend together and lacked memorable melodies that truly stood out.
