Infectious

Rating: 9/10 (28 January 2001)

There is something inherently infectious about movies, theater, and television that we see where we can tell that the cast is just having a great time. From CATS to SEX AND THE CITY, this shows. So, what do we get in THAT THING YOU DO? Well, it's slight, light, breezy and proud of it. Tom Hanks and his casting director have managed to find and draw surprisingly fun and energetic performances out of Steve Zahn, Ethan Embry, Liv Tyler, Rita Wilson, Tom Everett Scott, and Jonathan Schaech (sp? - burdened with playing the requiste moody and serious artiste')and out of Mr. Hanks himself. The supporting cast is great also. Light, breezy, smiling, bouncy, and energetic.
