YOU GUYS. Remember how fantastically delightful That Thing You Do! was? Rememmmmmmber? I'm now wondering why I don't own this movie because it will forever be the Ultimate Always Pick-Me-Up.
The Oneders! I still laugh thinking about how no one could pronounce that name correctly and how exasperated Steve Zahn's character was over it. Hence, The Wonders. "As in, I wonder what happened to the O’Needers?"
Whatever happened to Tom Everett Scott? Because he was a Dreamy McDreamboat. Come on, that speech he gives to Liv Tyler?! The one where he tells her she's beautiful and amazing and doesn't have to take Jimmy's shit (okay, maybe I don't really remember the specifics that well, but you know what I'm talkin bout). Melt my heart forever.
And, I don't know how I missed this all these years, but Tom Hanks WROTE IT! Uhhh, what?! I knew that he directed it, but somehow missed that very useful piece of trivial knowledge.
My love for Tom Hanks knows no bounds. There, I said it.
Do you guys feel as strongly about TTYD as I do? What other movies hold such a strong place in your heart? I'm always looking for good movies to watch.

I love That Thing You Do!! Originally my sister was obsessed, so I watched it with her a lot, and now I own it as well. :) I'll have to host a That Thing You Do party at some point!
I cannot believe I'd all but forgotten this movie! SO GOOD.
Also, Tom Everett Scott was in that godawful Mandy Moore flick "Because I Said So" a couple years back. He deserves better!
omg, my sister was obsessed with this movie. i miss those days!
