    I just watched "Almost Famous" for the first time in about six years, and I now realise why everyone claims it to be one of the decade's finest!

    I liked this movie. It's a love letter to anyone who enjoyed the music of the early 70's, or even is just curious about it. I didn't know that it was a semi-autobiographical story until after I had seen it, but that fact helps explain how genuine the movie is.

    Cameron Crowe mus...( read more)t really know how to get the best out of his actors, because they all really shine, here. Kate Hudson, in particular, is just amazing in a few key scenes. It really makes me wish that she would someday work with another director who can get this kind of a performance out of her, because she clearly has the talent.

    Billy Crudup and his fellow bandmates really gave off the "rockstar" vibe, which the movie wouldn't have worked nearly as well without. Hoffman and McDormand were also as good as you would expect them to be. As brief as Zooey Deschanel's role was, I think it might be one of my favorite performances from her. Young Patrick Fugit is the centerpiece of the movie, and he occupies the character as well as anyone could have done. It was well-suited to him.

    These kinds of movies might not be perfectly suited to everyone, but it certainly struck a chord with me. Cameron Crowe is now officially on my radar.

    Starts well, then it becomes the usual feel-good-cliche-fest that Crowe loves to make. The supporting cast helps a lot, except Kate Hudson that is, that woman should not be allowed to work in movies ever again.

    a film that gets a bit silly at moments but provides some great introspection and clever moments. the music is great and the characters are played well. a solid film.
