Crowe's best. A semi-autobiographical tale that teaches us about the true meaning growing up and friendship. The music is great. |

Great acting, great music, great story. I love that Cameron Crowe wrote it based on his own experiences as a teenage rock writer. |

A very interesting coming of age film that is only outdone by "The Graduate" (there may be others but nothing comes to my head). The acting is superb and the direction is rare. Unfortunately, Hudson is the leading lady. Yuck! Still see it. |

I am a golden god! |

Almost Famous is one of my most favorite movies and I do not understand how someone can not like it. There is so much to it that you can't get off saying the acting is bad. I think Frances McDormond does the best in this film, followed by Philip Seymour Hoffman and then the new comer, Patrick Fugit. Their characters contribute to the movie in their own little ways that make it great. Who better to play an insane headcase of a mother than Frances McDormond? She does an excellent job and literally does "freak me out" as felt by more than one character in the film. But like William says, "She means well." She is a perfect adult figure in the movie because she is practically the only one. Philip Seymour Hoffman is just great. Even if he did not have the most lines because of the flu, his char... |

Rockin' Movie |

This movie is one of my all time favorites. It is a must see for any music lover. It looks back at a very interesting time in rock music, when all the wonderful rock was being replaced by aweful disco. The movie is dramatic and funny all at the same time. I have seen it many many times and still manage to laugh at all of the jokes (Jason Lee is hysterical in a very understated way). If you are not into rock music this is still a wonderful coming of age story about a young boy trying to find his place in an adult world. Did I mention the soundtrack is awesome? |
