Faye Dolan ~ That Thing You Do! App.: When the dream becomes that thing you do!



Tagline

In every life there comes a time when that dream you dream becomes that thing you do.



Plot Summary for That Thing You Do!

Pennsylvania band scores a hit in 1964 and rides the star-making machinery as long as it can, with lots of help from its manager. Recounts a fable of a pop rock band immediately 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 Merseybeat rhythm 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.

Memorable Quotes

Faye: You mean actually make a record? A record record, record?

***

Faye: Was she a good kisser?
Guy: Yeah.
Faye: Yeah?
Guy: It would be ungentlemanly of me to elaborate.

***

Faye: I have wasted thousands and thousands of kisses on you - kisses that I thought were special because of your lips and your smile and all your color and life. I used to think that was the real you, when you smiled. But now I know you don't mean any of it. You just save it for all your songs. Shame on me for kissing you with my eyes closed so tight.

Oh geez, I haven't seen this movie. I want to though. It was Colin's "big" debut wasn't it?

Yes, it was! You should go and rent the DVD, Liv and Hanks' family are worth seeing it for! And the song "That Thing You Do!" is great!

Hey we're online at the same time! I don't think that's happened before.

With Colin in it, I'll probably buy the DVD!

Liv looks adorable in that poster.

It's easy to catch me on-line because I'm always on-line at work. Actually, I'm often on-line at home as well. I'm addicted.

Faye is very decent and natural, amazing.

I like the title song best...

And I love Faye saying "A record, record, record?"
And Faye and Guy finally together.
And Tom Hanks for everything (he has done for the movie).

But you can't watch the movie more than once a day, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get the song out of your head. I have to sing the song again and again.

The film didn't get great press, did it? That's why I put off watching it, but when I did watch it, I loved it Liv was perfect to play the sweet loving girlfriend, and the ending ... I've only watched it twice, but I still can't see Colin Hanks in it

It was Colin's first movie, let's be forbearing. I like Colin Hanks, he is getting better.
