Sweet nothing, then, but what would you expect of a rock movie devoted to the drummer?

Time Out
...Tom Hanks understands likable....Everett Scott is appropriately handsome and charming....Hanks and company allow us to dream...
Los Angeles Times
First-time writer/director Tom Hanks stays about a half-beat ahead of the cliches with rim shots of boyish enthusiasm and deft comedy. The movie's also buoyed by the title song, whose Beatles sound is infectious enough to merit a real hit.

...A brightly entertaining blend of humor and heartbreak...

Rating: 3.5/4 --
A movie as catchy and likable as the title song.

Three Movie Buffs
Rating: B --
A sweet, likeable tale of the quick rise to fame and then demise of a small town band. Set in 1964, Hanks' film offers a sanitized, Gump-ish look at a mythical period when boys were boys and girls were girls, with no references to the sex-drug subculture
Variety
Rating: 3/5 --
Sweet, sleepy take on flash-in-the-pan '60s band.

Product Description:
A cautionary pop fable following the meteoritic rise of "The Wonders," a fictitious foursome during the early days of pop-rock fandom. When jazz drummer Guy Patterson fills in for a session with a friend's band, a hit single is born and the smalltown boys find themselves riding a rollercoaster of success, guided by the opportunistic hand of a smooth-talking record label agent. Fun, cheerful, and innocent. Hanks' directorial debut. Academy Award Nominations: Best Original Song ("That Thing You Do").
