NOT AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL
I was expecting this cut of the movie to be an improvement, but it was not. The extra scenes diluted the story: They took attention away from the story. This is a story about a 'peppy' band, and the original story was 'peppy' too. This version makes the movie lose it's rhythm. The story gets...

"Lovin' that 'Thing You Do!'"
"That Thing You Do!" is a feel-good film written and directed by and featuring Tom Hanks. The movie is enjoyable, and the featured song, "That Thing You Do!" is the perfect "earworm"--it's bouncy and happy and stays with you long after the movie is over.This Special Edition of the film is...

What a useless reworking of an already perfect movie...
If you loved the original version of this movie, as I do, then save yourself 2.5 hours and go do something else (anything else!) rather than watch this new extended version. After having sat through it, my main comment on this was that the editor of the original versrion deserved an Oscar...

The greatest movie plus 39 minutes equals Worst movie of all time!
No one ever believes it until they see it, but you have to trust me on this if you want to maintain your perception of one of the greatest films of all time. The Director's Cut version of That Thing You Do is one of the worst movies you will EVER see. Save yourself the trouble and the money,...

"Director's cuts" are seldom as good as the original theatrical releases. There were undoubtedly good reasons to leave some celluloid on the cutting room floor in the first place.The additional scenes on this DVD not only do not add much to the original, they actually detract from it. The tight...

I'm totally loving that thing this movie does...
I remember growing up adoring this little film. I was about eleven or so when the film was released and it was such a huge hit in my circle of friends. I probably saw the film nearly fifty times before my thirteenth birthday. Sadly, I haven't seen the movie since, but the minute my wife asked...

That thing you do
I love this movie!! I have been looking for it on DVD for a long time. The only thing that I was disappointed with was everyone once in a while subtitles will pop up on the bottom of the screen and won't match the movie and will be blurred.

Tom Hanks is a winner!
This has some great songs written just for the movie. You'd swear they were big 60s hits... they capture the genre perfectly. This is a feel good movie... you'll be a fan.
