Review of Almost Famous (2000) by Michael H — 06 Jan 2013
A teenage rock journalist (Patrick Fugit) for the Rolling Stone magazine is assigned to write an article about an up-and-coming rock band (led by Billy Crudup and Jason Lee) and accompanies the band on tour in writer-director Cameron Crowe's comedy-drama, Almost Famous.
Sometimes, the test of a truly great film is that it still entertains us regardless of our knowledge of the subject matter that it blends into its story, and that is certainly the case with Almost Famous.
This is a delightful, warm, and well-written love letter to rock and roll with terrific direction by Cameron Crowe that manages to pull tricks up its sleeves when we least suspect it, and an equally outstanding cast (Kate Hudson in particular as the band's biggest fan) to pull it off.
