That Thing You Do!
The Fab Four without the Mop Tops
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.

This one gets complicated
Zero woke. (Theatrical release)
Fun story about a one-hit-wonder band.
Tom Hanks wrote and directed it. He also played a significant part. He also wrote a couple of the songs in the soundtrack.
The complicated part:
There was an extended cut version released that revealed Hank's character to be in a homosexual relationship with a character played by Howie Long. I've never seen that version. I hope I never do. Tom Hanks didn't want that part in the movie. I don't blame him.
