^Woah! Didn't realize there was an extended cut! That is good news, since the theatrical cut was decidedly 'meh'. It had all the high points you mentioned (plus I just love Steve Zahn since always), but the story just didn't have teeth. Too bad, since the behind-the-scenes was so compelling. For example, Hanks said he didn't want them to play a band, he wanted them to be a band. So he made them learn their instruments and do song rehearsal every day, just like a real band, basically living together. They said it was weird by the time they actually recorded the songs in the movie, because they had to fake playing like on BBC shows for the real sound to be added in post. They were so used to actually playing that it was hard to fake it! (Oh, and none of them were musicians!)
