I think that undersells the greatness of (the song) That Thing You Do a bit. It’s absolutely miraculous that you don’t get sick of the song after the 5th time you hear it in the film.
Oh yeah these were pretty good.
Like I thought that was just an OK movie, but I did looking at Middle Class Asian American Sunset in SF. Kind of a rare place for film!
A BUNCH of different groups submitted demos to Tom Hanks using that title (as it was going to be the title of the song because it was the title of the film) -- including TMBG!
unlike what happened in the movie, hey-o! but seriously, it's a great movie and song - and that's the sort of thing you can plausibly do in a movie with a solid budget. you probably can't do AMADEUS without using the music of the actual Mozart.

Generally music seems more collaborative and for hire vs novels/visual art so maybe it's easier to find someone?
