That Thing You Do! (3/5) Movie CLIP - Faye Dumps Jimmy (1996) HD

BUY THE MOVIE:

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
In the band's dressing room, a broken-hearted Faye (Liv Tyler) breaks it off with Jimmy (Jonathan Schaech).

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Tom Hanks made his directorial debut in this bright comedy set in the mid-1960's about a rock group and their brief fling with fame. Guy Patterson (Tom Everett Scott) works as a salesman at his father's appliance store and plays the drums in his spare time, fancying himself a jazz musician. One day, a buddy of Guy's tells him a local rock band, The One-Ders (it's pronounced "wonders"), are in need of a drummer -- they have Battle of the Bands coming up and their usual timekeeper has broken his arm. Guy agrees to sit in, but when it's time to play their best original, a love ballad called "That Thing You Do," Guy lays in a sharp, driving beat that turns the tune into an uptempo pop-rocker. Lead singer Jimmy (Johnathon Schaech) isn't happy at first, but guitarist Lenny (Steve Zahn) and the nameless Bass Player (Ethan Embry) think the song sounds better that way -- and they notice the girls like it just fine. Soon people are actually requesting the song at their shows, and the One-Ders scrape together some money to press a single of "That Thing You Do" to sell between sets. A DJ puts the song on the radio, and opportunity knocks in the form of Mr. White (Tom Hanks), who works for the very major Play-Tone Records label. Play-Tone buys the rights to "That Thing You Do" and puts the band on the road as their song makes it way to the top of the national charts. But what can The Wonders (as Play-Tone have re-named them) do for an encore? And what should Guy do about his infatuation with Jimmy's girlfriend, Faye (Liv Tyler)? Real-life 60's obsessed rocker Chris Isaak has a small part as a recording engineer, and fans of real 60's garage bands will appreciate the wealth of small, accurately observed details (for example, halfway through the film, when a few "That Thing You Do" royalty checks have presumably kicked in, the band's inexpensive Danelectro guitars disappear and the Wonders are suddenly playing on brand new Fender gear -- the height of rock style in 1965).

HIT US UP:

[leobombardier]

"Shame on me for kissing you with my eyes closed too tight"  Heart wrenching.

[pandakatiefominz]

Then she gets to be with Aragorn, son of Arathorn, and it is worth the heartbreak she feels here.

[legendarymermaid]

The thing is, this moment was inevitable. Whenever there was any physical displays of affection between Jimmy and Faye, she was the always the one who initiated it. And earlier when Mr. White asked who Faye was, Jimmy said "she's sort of like my girlfriend." Sort of? Just goes to show that Jimmy never felt the same way about Faye as she did about him. On another note, I like how they cut to Guy when Faye's talking in this scene. You can see the look on his face even though his eyes are hidden behind the sunglasses. In that brief shot, you can simultaneously see his heart breaking for Faye and him realizing that he's in love with her.

[natalieschannel]

"Which one of You Butts said we're engaged?"
"The same person who said You had Class, Jimmy!"

[billgallaher]

Guy's comeback at the end was so perfect. Knocks Jimmy's self-image right off his high horse.

[peakypeabody]

It wasnt really fair on poor Faye being treated so harshly by Jimmy like that, she did nothing wrong, he just became a little too egotistical, too big for his own boots. It was his loss at the end of the day :(

[justin]

This scene just breaks my heart, because a lot of relationships end up like this, because one partner is too egotistical.

Glad she got Guy in the end.

[emilyhedrick]

Jimmy:

Thinks everyone and everything else is beneath him, doesn't treat Faye right at all, and is generally unlikable.

Guy:

Is nice to everyone, has a fun-loving personality, cares about his friends, loves Faye, but is respectful enough to not try and steal her from Jimmy, takes care of Faye when she's sick, is the only one who notices her almost getting left behind in the crowd, appreciates what she brings to the table, is genuinely disgusted with Jimmy for dragging her across the country when he didn't really care about her, and lets Faye know in a loving, honest way how much she means to him.

Everyone, get yourself a person like Guy Patterson. People who treat you the way Guy treats Faye are totally worth it, as lovers and as friends.

[luishumbertovega]

"The same person that said you had class, Jimmy" I mean NOBODY.

[raulmacias]

Even though she wasn't in the band, Faye was essential to the group! Her enthusiasm for their success and her love for Jimmy was the catalyst in the group's success!
Her leaving Jimmy was really the nail in the coffin for "The Wonders".

[TheStockwell]

Tom Hanks wrote AND directed this small, wonderful film. He also came up with at least one of the songs.

If any of you run into him, be sure you thank him.

[sleepinggorilla]

“Which one of you butts said we were engaged anyway?”

“The same person who said you had class, Jimmy.”

Nobody.

[Malkinian]

This scene was always so sad because you could see it was the beginning of the end.

[supermarroman]

Guy couldn’t read a room and that’s what made him the best character.

[lukasmiller]

Almost every woman on the planet has had a moment like this but the courage, strength and maturity of that woman will determine her survival.

[NubbyG]

Guy supported Faye when she was sick, explaining "Jimmy's IQ" and rescuing her from the screaming fans. He's really a good guy!.... no pun intended....

[dearthofdoohickeys]

What a beautiful woman, and an incredible actor.

[WalterFrith]

One thing I like about this movie is how each character resembles the personality of a Beatle. Their positions on each instrument are switched but Jimmy is Lennon, Guy is McCartney, Lenny is Ringo and T.B. Player is George. Very clever whether it was intended that way or not.

[mrstifler]

I feel like jimmy. At the end, Jimmy’s face, says it all. His face says that “she deserves better because he’s too afraid to break it off with her”

[hwahid]

Shame on you Jimmy. You had an amazing girlfriend and you just mistreated her. Seriously, when your girlfriend is that sweet and that beautiful, how can one not appreciate her
