Question: Are the characters in this movie based on actual people? Is it a true story or a fictional story that was entirely possible?
Question: Does anyone know where I can get a transcript of this movie? Also, does anyone know if the song we hear in the movie is the original?
Answer: I don't know about the script, but the song was definitely an original - and nominated for best original song that year.
Factual error: When The Oneders are recording their song with Uncle Bob, there is an In-N-Out cup sitting by the recording equipment. There are no In-N-Out restaurants in PA.
Lenny Haise: Here's the thing, we're not "The Wonders" right now, we're "Cap'n Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters."

Answer: The movie was written by Tom Hanks and some what reflects the music industry during that time period. It is not about a real band, but shows how a lot of bands were treated at the time and how quickly you can rise and how you can fall even faster.
