Props to Uncle Bob for adding the hand-claps.

I was teaching high school, had tonsilitis. Couldn't speak, but couldn't take time off.
I played this movie to 20 classes.
I watched it with them every time and never got tired of it.
Great movie!

The way faye looks at jimmy despite how he constantly ignores her just breaks my damn heart..

[camerontjoe]

1:28 is my favourite part. When Liv Tyler and Uncle Bob look at each other and she smiles. Ugh Liv Tyler is absolutely adorable in this movie

“That Thing You Do” is one of my top 3 favorite original soundtrack songs ever. RIP Adam Schlesinger. Thank you for this work of genius and happy piece of my childhood. Gone too soon ☹️☹️☹️☹️

My garage band literally did this back in 1979. We asked a young pastor if we could record in his church after hours. I still have the recordings. Not that you'd want to hear them, but I still have them.

"That was swinging!" "Luke, who's Luke". I love the transition from Villapiano Pizza place to the stained glass with that primeval scream!

[stephanieellis]

"Wasn't that our fan?" one of the funniest lines.

The 90s produced some coming of age gems. This one is such a great movie. They really captured the early 60s. Tom Everett scott actually played drums. How amazing is he.

Wish Tom wrote and directed more movies, this is a classic

This scene is like 15 minutes into the movie and after this its already obvious that Guy and Faye have far superior chemistry than Faye and Jimmy the Load.

[Patever.]

And some say Jimmy is still saying “it’s too fast” to this very day

[goutdoors]

Never get tired of this movie thank you Adam Schlesinger...RIP

[scottrabie]

And to the surprise of no one we see Chris Issaks and Liv Tyler keeping perfect time clapping with the beat.

[wjatube]

Such a great feel good movie. I will probably watch it another hundred times.

[hioxd]

God, Liv is so gorgeous today and back then.

[gene]

The Loss of Adam is devastating!This was a great movie with a great lead

[tonyc]

It's crazy to think that Hanks gave these guys more freedom to play their instruments for real than The Monkees were allowed.

[floydkendall]

My favorite line in this movie is, “Shame on me for keeping my eyes closed so tight while I kissed you”.
I know, that as a woman, this sentiment was not wasted on me.

Makes me smile when they heard their song on the radio for the first time. My band went through the same emotions when one our originals was played on WSHE radio in South Fla 1987.
