A Pennsylvania band scores a hit in 1964 and rides the star-making machinery as long as it can, with lots of help from its manager. But behind the scenes, the group’s sudden fame tests their strength, their maturity and responsibility, and their ability to resist the temptations that money and notoriety always make possible.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"The movie 'That Thing You Do!' is a period piece focusing on the rise of a 1960s band. There are no significant references to the Christmas season, themes, or iconography within the narrative. It does not meet any criteria for a Christmas film."
