This comedy cult sensation about the young slackers and dreamers that hang around a local record store cranks it up another notch in an awesome Special Fan Edition with 16 minutes of cool added footage not seen in theatres.

With a soundtrack of fun, energetic music evoking the rock bands of the early 1960s, That Thing You Do is first-rate entertainment for the entire family.
