Review of Almost Famous (2000) by Jack T — 14 Jan 2013

Almost famous.

This has one of my favourite open credits. The film starts with someone writing down the credits on a notepad.

I think this film is where I fell in love with Zooey Deschanel, who plays the sister of the main character.

I like films that have little digs at the past, for example when the band have a meeting with the new manager and he says, ' if you think Mick Jagger is still out there trying to a rockstar at age 50 you are sadly sadly mistaken.'.

This is possibly my favourite film, the ultimate coming of age film and anything with Philip Seymour Hoffman is good.

In words of Dave Grohl we have to thank Cameron Crowe for introducing Elton John's Tiny Dancer into our lives.
