Plot
It's 1964, and Guy Patterson's (Tom Everett Scott) life is good, but it could be better. He has been home from his stint as a soldier in post-war Germany for more than a year, is a proficient drummer, has an apartment and a girlfriend, but spends his days reluctantly helping his father run the family's appliance store in downtown Erie, Pennsylvania. He often closes the store for the evening and routinely forgets to turn-off the store's neon light signs. Returning to the store, he plays his drum kits to the records of jazz musician Del Paxton.

Friends and guitarists Jimmy Mattingly and Lenny Haise approach Guy at work about joining their band. Their unnamed band has entered a talent competition at Mercyhurst College and they need a drummer. Their current drummer, Chad, recently broke him arm. The Bass Player's name is never revealed. Guy agrees, and the band rehearses a ballad written by Jimmy called "That Thing You Do." After rehearsal, Guy then asks the group to confirm that they'll just be performing the one song, and when they do, he responds, "Wonderful!" Mercyhurst College is a Catholic liberal arts college in Erie, Pennsylvania, USA. // Mercyhurst College was founded as a womens college by the Sisters of Mercy in 1926. ...
Jimmy's girlfriend, Faye Dolan, responds by suggesting that as their band name, "The Wonders". The band takes on Jimmy's version with word play, "The Oneders". The Oneders take stage at the contest and Guy plays the song at a much faster tempo than rehearsed much to the band's surprise. The band maintains the faster tempo, and the audience responds positively by dancing along. The win first place at the contest and are offered a regular paid gig at Villapiano's, a pizzeria near the airport. Guy's uncle, Bob who records for churches, records their song at a local church for their first record. The record is sold at Villapiano's during their performces. Phil Horace purchases one of these records and offers them a deal. He promises them radio air-play in different areas of the country if they'll accept him as a manager to which they agree.
Horace gets their song on the radio and it receives regular airplay to the delight of the band. Phil also schedules them to play a battle of the bands contest in Pittsburgh, PA sponsored by a local businessman. The performance turns into a disaster as they find their microphones off, the drum kit falls apart, and the audience boos them off stage. Battle of the Bands is a generic term for a contest in which many bands, usually rock/guitar bands but often from a range of different styles, compete for the title of best band. The winner is determined by a panel of judges, the general response of the audience, or...
Play-tone Records executive Mr. White, who was in the audience, meets with Guy and Horace later about signing to his label. He tells Guy that he would like to buy the band out from their contract with Horace and to sign them onto the "Play-Tone Galaxy of Stars". Guy initially refuses the offer, but Horace pressures him to rethink it. Guy introduces Mr. White to the band, and they decide to sign with Play-tone. Faye joins the band's tour as a costumer and The Bass Player joins the United States Marine Corps. The Bass Player must leave the band in August to report for duty. The band's name is changed to the "The Wonders" by Mr. White to avoid confusion. The United States Marine Corps (USMC) is a branch of the United States military responsible for providing power projection from the sea,[1] utilizing the mobility of the U.S. Navy to rapidly deliver combined-arms task forces. ...
The Wonders join the The Play-Tone Galaxy of Stars on a nationwide tour covering county fairs and small venues. Their first performance at the Ohio State Fair impresses a local DJ who plays "That Thing You Do!" with much more power than their previous airplays. They re-release the song as a single for Play-Tone records which begins climbing the Billboard Hot 100 quickly. "That Thing You Do!" is eventually declared the fastest-rising single in the history of the Play-Tone label.

When their record breaks the Top Ten, Mr. White takes them to tour California and meet label owner, Sol Siler. While in California they are also scheduled to will record their first full-length album and appear in a major film, Weekend at Party Pier. The film is a a B-grade beach movie where The Wonders are cast as "Cap'n Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters" that Jimmy finds disillusioning and distasteful. After a day of radio-show appearances, Guy takes off to a local jazz club, where confusion and homesickness lead him to drink too much. He meets his musical idol, Del Paxton (Bill Cobbs), and fears that he has made a fool of himself. The band is scheduled for a live performance on The Hollywood Television Showcase. The Bass Player never arrives for the performance. He instead abandons the group earlier than expected and goes to Disneyland with a group of Marines he met in the hotel coffee shop. White turns to a Play-Tone studio musician, Scott "Wolfman" Pell, to replace him. The remaining three Wonders quickly and nonchalantly approve after seeing Wolfman perform an incredible bass solo.

Their performance on the television is successful and during the instrumental break, the names and nicknames of each of the Wonders comes on. Jimmy is caught by surprise on camera when the words "careful girls, he's engaged" flash with his name. After the show, Jimmy angrily tells Faye that they are not engaged. Hurt by Jimmy's callousness and insensitivity, Faye breaks off their relationship.
While recording their album, Jimmy angrily leaves the band because he lacks any creative control. Their album was predetermined by the label and continues to revolve around their single. He is also discouraged by Mr. Write from recording his songs unless their marketable pop-hits. Lenny has left the band to marry Play-Tone receptionist, Kitty. Wolfman leaves since Guy is the only remaining member of the band. Guy remains in the studio with the permission of Mr. White, practicing aimlessly until Del Paxton enters for an impromptu jazz jam session.

Music The movie features original music by Hanks, Adam Schlesinger, Rick Elias, Scott Rogness, Mike Piccirillo, Gary Goetzman and Howard Shore. The Wonders rise to brief stardom on the strength of "That Thing You Do", a song written as a wistful ballad but which becomes an uptempo rocker during the band's first performance at a talent show. Written and composed by Adam Schlesinger, bassist for Fountains of Wayne and Ivy, and released on the film's soundtrack, the song became a genuine hit for The Wonders in 1996 (the song peaked at #41 on the Billboard Hot 100, #22 on the Adult Contemporary charts, #18 on the Adult Top 40, and #24 on the Top 40 Mainstream charts). The track was nominated for the 1996 Golden Globe Award as well as the 1996 Academy Award for Best Original Song.

Beatles references
Mr. White (Hanks) and the band. Aside from the music being very similar to that of the Beatles, there are several references to the Beatles, such as the names that were originally thought of, the Oneders and the Heardsmen, misspelled "just like the Beatles"; the drummer being replaced on the verge of the band's stardom, à la Pete Best; their hit song being a sped-up version of a slower ballad, like the Beatles' "Please Please Me"; the owner of "Villapiano's", the restaurant where they were discovered, called the drummer "Ringo" at one point when he wanted them on stage; their manager making them all wear matching suits, "nice suits, because you are nice boys"; Mr. White being closely compared to Brian Epstein in his control of the band and their looks as well as Mr. White's suggested homosexuality in the flirtation with the extra during the Weekend at the Pier scene; their manager giving the drummer a gimmick, as "Shades" wore sunglasses, just as Ringo wore many rings; the band frolicking on a map of the USA; Jimmy throwing up before their TV debut, as George Harrison did before The Ed Sullivan Show. Once the group meets with national success and gets new instruments, Jimmy plays a sunburst Rickenbacker guitar similar to George Harrison's. When Chad asks Mr. Patterson how many people would be watching, he replies, "How many people saw The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show?"; the setup for The Hollywood Television Showcase; the host of the Showcase introducing the band as "the latest rock-and-roll group to challenge the Beatles to a hair-combing contest! (just what we all need)"; the caption under Jimmy reading "Careful girls, he's engaged!," just as John Lennon on The Ed Sullivan Show had the caption "Sorry girls, he's married!"; referring to the Beatles in the movie A Hard Day's Night; Alex Rocco's character saying that the Wonders would invade the UK, referring to the British Invasion. Paparazzi asking why the band doesn't have long hair like The Beatles, and the radio host saying "I've got some exciting guests today! Makers of a hit record, visitors from the east! NO NOT THOSE MOP TOPS!"; in one scene of the "Tom Hanks' Extended Edition" DVD Jimmy mentions that the new upbeat tempo makes them sound like The Beatles, Lenny replies with a quip about sounding "like the lads themselves".

Mr. White's driver, Lloyd (Howie Long), is also revealed and it is implied that Lloyd and Mr. White are homosexual partners.

Trivia - Liv Tyler is the daughter of Steven Tyler, lead singer of Aerosmith, a prominent rock and roll band. She is the only cast member to have a connection to the music industry.
- Towards the end of the movie, when the bass player leaves the band and goes to Disneyland, he rides the Matterhorn and is clearly seen in a dual-car bobsled. The Matterhorn appeared in Disneyland for the first time in 1959; however, the attraction only featured a single, four-passenger car. When it was remodeled in 1978, a second car was added in order to decrease the wait time and to increase the number of riders each time. Because the movie takes place in the 1960s, it would be impossible for the bass player to ride in a dual-car bobsled.[1]
- Tom Hanks is an Oakland Raiders fan and named the pizza place (out by the airport) "Villapiano's" where the band is the house band after former Raider linebacker Phil Villapiano. Howie Long makes an appearance in a deleted scene as Mr. White's driver. Long played Defensive End for the Raiders.
- During the talent competition at Mercyhurst College, the school colors shown are maroon and gold. The actual colors are white and green. Maroon and gold are actually the colors of Gannon University (also in Erie).
- When Faye goes into the Ambassador Hotel's diner at the end of the movie for some food, a cereal display can be seen behind the lunch counter. Some of the cereal boxes, such as Corn Pops, are not of the style for the 1960's era.
- The Wonders Lead Guitarist, Lenny Haise, received his name from The Dave Clark Five's guitarist Lenny Davidson. Tom Hanks is a big Dave Clark Five fan and was reported to have consulted with Clark before beginning work on the film. Also, there is a scene in the film where a record executive comments that the Wonders "look like the Dave Clark Five."
- Hanks' wife Rita Wilson portrays a cocktail waitress named Marguerite, who, in the director's cut, main character Guy Patterson (Tom Everett Scott) drunkenly calls Margarita (a play on Wilson's real-life first name).
- The street scenes of "Erie" were actually filmed in Orange, California, which has an authentic Old Towne area. Some notable Erie landmarks were "added" into the background, such as the Boston Store. The facades were slightly altered so it would resemble the mid 60's era the film needed. Some empty stores were even used for certain sets. The soda fountain scene was shot in Orange's oldest establishment, Watson's Drug & Soda Fountain, which is still open daily.
- A 45-rpm single ("a record-record record") for "That Thing You Do!"/"Dance With Me Tonight" was made available as a promotional item for the movie and soundtrack. In the movie, the b-side for "That Thing You Do!" is "All My Only Dreams."
- WCOL, where K.O. Bailey is said "to put 50,000 watts behind (the single)", at 1230 AM, was and has always been a 1,000 watt local radio channel, not reaching much further than the suburbs of Columbus. However, this was a legendary Top 40 station in its heyday.
- WJET (AM 1400) was Erie's de facto Top 40 station in real life. It is a news-talk formatted station today.
