Made in 1996 and directed by Tom Hanks.Stars Tom Hanks, Toim Everet Scott, Steve Zahn, and Liv Tyler.
Group of friends in early 1960s Pennsylvania write and record song that takes them to the top of the charts. Likeable tunes, especially the title song. Which is good since we must hear it a million times. And all the songs sound authentic to the time period.
Hanks plays an exec with PlayTone Records...Playtone is actually the the name of Hanks' production company.
Tom Everet Scott is fine as the "smart one" in the band, "Shades"...Zahn is funny, and Liv Tyler is the PERFECT girlfriend.
Good feel for the time period with just the right clothes, guitars, amps, and even microphones.
Hanks also co-wrote the script and some of the songs.
Likeable, fun, and light-hearted.

Fantastic film - love it. You smile through almost the entire move.
ReplyDeleteAnd Liv Tyler is the PERFECT girlfriend, right?
ReplyDeleteLove all the music, sounds like it was all written 40 years ago!
It does - the music is great - and no matter how many times you hear the main song it doesn't get old. And yes - she is the PERFECT girlfriend :)
