We also feel his elation when, after days of rubbing a stick in another piece of wood, he is able to start a fire. Thanks to some FedEx packages that drift to shore, Nolan manages to make a friend. This entertaining little film was a labor of love for Hanks, who wrote and directed it. It's the fictional tale of the Wonders, a rock 'n' roll band that roars its way to the top of the music charts in 1964. The high doesn't last long as egos and the pressure of it all begin to get to the members.
Hanks plays the band's manager.
Here's one that proves not every film in Hanks' past was memorable. Gumming up the fun, though, is his fiancee, Debbie, who dons a disguise and crashes the party. Considering the recent publicity garnered by Robert Downey Jr., this might spark some interest. Downey plays an egotistical actor who gets caught up in girl trouble. Typical of the lame-brained fare that passes for comedy these days.
