OSS: The story of a rock’n’roll band on the rise in the 60’s.
This is one of my all-time favorite movies – the music is fantastic, the story is interesting, and the characters are entertaining throughout. Steve Zahn never fails to make me laugh with “Looks like Lenny’s going fishin’!” This movie is why I like Tom Hanks as a person (he wrote, directed, and stars in it). If this is what he creates – he’s amazing. Also my entire family quotes this all the time. ALL. THE. TIME.
At some point I’ll indulge and do an intensive dissection of the liner notes of the soundtrack (as there are backstories for FAKE BANDS – can we say amazing) and point out all the trivia between this movie & Apollo 13. Tom Hanks did them back to back and there are sooo many nods to Apollo – it’s impressive. Also, the extended cut has about 30 extra minutes that are actually worth watching (as opposed to when I watch some deleted scenes & think “yeah – that deserved to be cut”).
It’s funny & family-friendly; a movie I would recommend to just about anyone!
