MOTD - Almost Famous



"A high-school boy is given the chance to write a story for Rolling Stone Magazine about an up-and-coming rock band as he accompanies it on their concert tour."

Almost Famous is Cameron Crowe's semi-autobigraphical story of an aspiring rock journalist who goes on tour with a band in the 1970's.Patrick Fugit, is convincing in his performance as William the shy, awkward teenager struggling to be a journalist but at the same time trying as he might to fit in. Kate Hudson, as "Penny Lane", gives plenty of depth to her smaller role but pulls it off well. Philip Seymour Hoffman, also in a small role again does very well with his portrayal of legendary rock journalist Lester Bangs, and Billy Crudup, as Stillwater's lead guitarist, is great. From start to finish the hole cast excels whether its Jason Lee as Stillwater's lead singer or Noah Taylor as the bands Manager trying to grasp hold of everything and keep them together on there road to stardom.
This film has been a Favorite of mine for many years now with its great acting, Dialogue, and most importantly The music!,which is reason in itself to watch with the huge classic soundtrack.
