About this product

Product Information

Cameron Crowe's career trajectory reads like a true Hollywood story--he started out as a 15-year-old writing for Rolling Stone magazine and eventually ended up writing, directing, and acting in movies. His poignant writing style reflects the nostalgia and humor of an era, with bits of pop culture and musical history and trivia woven in. This has proven to be a highly successful formula, as in the 1989 emo love story SAY ANYTHING, and the '90s grunge rocker hit SINGLES. Crowe's ALMOST FAMOUS is a semiautobiographical account that tells the story of a teen journalist, William Miller (Patrick Fugit), who goes on the road with an up-and-coming rock band called Stillwater. Though Miller's mentor, legendary rock critic Lester Bangs (portrayed with humor and heart by Philip Seymour Hoffman), cautions him not to befriend the musicians, Miller takes it a step further and befriends both the band and the Band-Aids--the girls who hang around with the band because they love the music. Miller is in for a wild ride around the country, to thrilling concerts and debauched backyard parties, living the life many 15-year olds dream about. He discovers that beneath the glittery façade of rock stardom are sometimes bittersweet life lessons and mild doses of heartbreak. More impacting are the friendships he finds with his glamorous travel companions. Newcomer Fugit is the perfect William Miller: baby-faced, slightly gawky, and an awestruck observer. Kate Hudson sparkles as Penny Lane, the leader of the Band-Aids, and Frances McDormand delivers a stellar performance as Elaine, Miller's protective and mildly paranoid mother. In the tradition of SAY ANYTHING and JERRY MAGUIRE, Crowe's coming-of-age tale is intelligent, well-written, and memorable.

    Who didn't come of age in the 70s?

    Now my new favorite movie. Engaging sweet coming of age story set with unruly rock bands, great 1970s music, and with believable and compassionate acting. You just loved all the characters and the ending was perfect. I think it was all the more wonderful because it was based on Cameron Crowe's beginning journey into rock journalism. It was my era and I loved it.

  • Almost Famous is crazy real life 70s fun!

    Great 70's spoof about a rock band "Stillwater" who is on the verge of breaking through to headliner status barring all the obsticles that come with fame. First hand account told by an ameature journalist hired to cover their rise to the cover of the "Rolling Stone". Funny with a great cast including Kate Hudson! A must see for anyone who went to concerts in the seventies, lots of "behind the stage antics" 4 of 5 Rating ****

  • Almost Famous - "Untitled" Bootleg Version

    One of the most poignant and enjoyable films about the thriving rock music scene of the 1970's and a young writer's coming-of-age in that roller-coaster environment. This movie is really a "love letter" from writer/director Cameron Crowe (director/writer of Say Anything, Jerry Maguire, Vanilla Sky & screenwriter of Fast Times at Ridgemount High), to that historical period when he cut his teeth as a teenager writing for Rolling Stone magazine, making inroads with some of the biggest names in music from that period, from Joni Mitchell to Led Zeppelin to Fleetwood Mac. Names have been changed to protect the hedonistic lifestyle leading, colorful characters of great musicians and hangers on that defined the period :) Look for cameos from some of the major figured of the ...

  • Almost Famous Star Studded Cast and Worth Every Minute-A Must See

    i love this movie. definitely kate hudson's absolute best playing penny lane, (yes like the song). phillip seymour huffman is fabulous as always along with a talented slew of big stars. this is honest look at the life of a "almost famous"rock band, their groupies (or as penny says"band aids") and their fans while on the road. all told from the perspective of a 15 year old mega rock fan who has convinced everyone he is journalist. he was even able to convince rolling stone magazine to hire and pay for him write an article on the band he admires. not all that glitters is gold and some of the harsh realities of this bohemian lifestyle creeps into the "real" world that penny so desperately insists cant linger over her quest to be the ultimate band aid to ...
