You would think after working with some of the world's greatest directors that Tom Hanks would have picked up a trick or two for his own forays into the art. "That Thing You Do" was as bland a movie as they come and unfortunately for Hanks he doesn't seem to have learned much since.
This film has been crucified by almost everyone I know and although it isn't offensively bad it won't be the first thing that Hanks or Julia Roberts stick on their cv. Hanks tries his best and this does have some funny moments but they are few and far between. Roberts and Hanks's romantic attachment is also without any chemistry whatsoever and reminded me of those shitty… -
Pleasant enough.
Saying anything more would be over-analyzing this.

I theoretically hate this movie's guts—and indeed, when I saw it theatrically, I wrote a one-star review—but I watch it compulsively on HBO because it just has to be seen to be believed. Over and over again. That's worth something.

So much potential becomes just another Hollywood romance where the two leads end up together in the end because they're the two leads, and not because anything that happens in the film is in any way relevant. Hits upon some interesting dilemmas of our current situation (downsizing, foreclosure, education) but does nothing with any of them, focusing instead on scooter rides and manic pixie dream girls. Hanks also directed and co-wrote the film, but still had no vision for what it was supposed to be about.

Not one of the best Tom Hanks films

Just goes to show you're never too old to try anything new in life.

I think this may be the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. I probably would not have known I could cringe for hours had I not seen it, though. So. Maybe that counts for something. Like half a star.

This film was pretty good except I can't understand why Julia Roberts character would date Crowne. He's still a loser at the end of the movie.

Good movie. I loved Tom Hank's transformation.

I though was funny, mostly guilty pleasure. Huge fan actors in this movie Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, and Grace Gummer. Had humour but also reflects warmth.
