#Skitch that thing you do movie
When re-watching a Hanks movie one might simply lean on You’ve Got Mail to get a pleasant Zahn fix, but you’re really selling yourself short when TTYD! is right there for your viewing pleasure. A key ingredient to a great lazy day might be throwing on Saving Silverman, or even Sahara, both featuring great Zahn action. Steve Zahn is never carrying a film to victory, but damn he’s enjoyable. I love Steve Zahn, who in an article about an underrated movie needs to be mentioned among underrated actors. White? And guys, can we talk about Lenny? Player, the fair Faye, and especially Hanks’s record company honcho Mr. Previously mentioned Guy Patterson, what else is there to say about the charisma and likability of this dude? How about future war hero T.B. Yeah, Jimmy was an asshole, but the movie needed his too-serious & overly conceited role, and I’d go to war for anyone else in the movie. The film’s cast of characters keeps you coming back every time a premium channel decides to grace us with its presence. I’d rather just watch him break his arm hopping over a parking meter before The Oneders talent show gig. Saving Private Ryan might be my favorite movie of all time, but sometimes I’m just not in the right place to sit on the couch and watch Wade whimper for his mother as he bleeds out in France. There’s not a point in this movie where you either don’t have something to look forward to or simply have a scene you’re not in the mood to see.
#Skitch that thing you do tv
That’ll take you to “man in a really nice camper” followed by the group’s first play on the radio (arguably the happiest scene in any movie ever), and eventually all the way to their big TV appearance. If one were to flip it on early in the movie you’re obviously waiting for the inaugural sped up version of the titular song powered by our hero Guy “Skitch” & “Shades” Patterson, and that just gets the dominoes falling. Hanks has put out some powerhouses but you can argue that TTYD! lead the pack in scenes that make you smile so big that you’ve gotta wait for them.
It’s hard to accurately describe how pleasant and re-watchable this movie really is. Like he showed in Catch Me If You Can he can still kill it while playing second fiddle. Let’s make no mistake, just because he spent the movie as a supporting actor, Hanks was the straw that stirred TTYD! onscreen. Now I’m not an expert or a critic just a concerned movie-watcher wanting a gem to get its due, especially when mentioned among its director/star’s best work. Yeah, Rotten Tomatoes has it at 93% (too low IMO) but you just never hear TTYD! mentioned enough when it comes to classic re-watchable movies, especially among the Tom Hanks portfolio. I don’t think anyone would say TTYD! should’ve cleaned up at the Oscars (although the titular song not winning the Best Original Song Oscar is a crime against humanity and I will be making my displeasure with the Academy known), there’s still not nearly enough appreciation for this flick as there should be. The titular song, jamming with Del Paxton, Cap’n Geech & The Shrimp Shack Shooters TTYD! is enjoyable from start to finish. Everyone needs to experience the mostly feel-good saga of the one-hit Oneders (later The Wonders) in their life, and then they need to experience it literally every single time it graces the general population with its presence on TV. If your first thought upon clicking this link was “I’ve never actually seen that movie” then someone in your life has failed you, and you’ve failed yourself.
