FUN submitted by TELLIES on June 12, 2015, 8:19pm Great movie

Charming pseudo-Beatles story! submitted by doctorfang on July 26, 2015, 11:57pm This is fun rags-to-riches (ish) story of a band circa early 1960s, in the vein of the Beatles. This was a pet project of Tom Hanks, and includes some catchy tunes as a bonus!

Cute submitted by Adam Graham on August 31, 2018, 11:24pm Not the best movie ever, but a nice story about a band trying hard to make it. Fun music too!

Heartbreaking for anyone with dreams... submitted by Steve Amick on August 28, 2022, 10:06pm ...but very well done. It really transports. And for someone who knew Erie, PA in the sixties, not a bad little creation of that place, briefly.
