This is a happy movie. people are usually very happy in it. There is no conflict to speak of, and no bad words or nudity. I’m not saying that a movie has to have violence and swearing in order to be good, I’m just telling you this to illustrate how happy and wholesome it all is.

We follow the careers of a group of small-town boys who have a hit song. Guess what it’s called? “That Thing You do.” Since I’m not a baby boomer, and have no pleasant, fuzzy, nostalgic memories of the 1960s, this film didn’t do anything for me. The music was vaguely annoying and the happy slice of life in a simpler era, was just, well, annoying. But then, Tom Hanks always gets under my skin.

If you like feel-good movies that do nothing but make you feel good, this is one for you. If you like movies with plot and that make some kind of a point, skip this one!
