Review of Almost Famous (2000) by Anthony I — 03 Dec 2014
An all-time favorite of mine, and purely because of how remarkable it is. The story it tells makes you feel like you're living an amazing dream. You are practically touring with the band, singing their songs, being with all the girls and loving every minute of it.
Almost Famous is a time machine to the 70's. From the styles to the mentality. But the real shining star is the great, great music. Believe me, if you aren't a fan of classic rock now, you will be.
The characters are very genuine here, especially the bright-eyed dreamer William, and the sad but groovy Penny Lane. This is a Cameron Crowe movie unlike any he's ever done before and ever since. This movie is less Jerry Maguire, and more Nashville.
It's proof of the power of movies.
