Review of Almost Famous (2000) by Cam B — 05 Dec 2010
So I wonder...had been a child of the 70s, would I have been more enchanted by this than I actually was? Other than Hudson's amazing "Penny Lane", much of this felt kinda forgettable... Until I actually started thinking about it and realised that McDormand's character is also incredibly good.
An interesting coming-of-age story, but really for me, it's all about the "band aide" (for she's not a groupie) and her most awesome of quotes: "what kind of beer?". A film that I wonder if I should re-visit in future.
..perhaps at about the time that my nephews and niece are breaking away from home, perhaps?...
