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.
This movie shows a lot of passion.I think everyone should watch this movie.
storia di groupies e band rock negli Stati Uniti degli anni '60.. se ci fosse un po' più rock e meno sentimentalismo meriterebbe mezzo voto in più, però il commento resta molto positivo, anche perchè il profilo della ragazza (non ricordo il nome, lho visto un po' di tempo fa) ris...( read more)
I wish RS would do that with me....except with like paramore or tokio hotl...lol maybe adam lambert
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.
I really don't know what to put about this movie other than its a good film about growing up.
dramatic comedy starring Patrick Fugit, Kate Hudson, Billy Crudup, Jason Lee, Frances McDormand and Philip Seymour Hoffman. written and directed by Cameron Crowe.
when fifteen-year-old William Miller (Fugit) is given the opportunity to write an essay on Black Sabbath for Cree...( read more)
" Rock stars have kidnapped my son!"- Elaine Miller
The movie made alcohols, drugs and rock stars as sweet as muffins and cakes. It was very ironic. I thought it is something with heavy of everything but not with drama and laughter. But it was. There was a feeling of hap...( read more)
Great movie. I loved the story and all the characters. Cameron Crowe once again provides us with a soundtrack that give us moments of inspiration, hope and heartbreak. Almost Famous is highly enjoyable, and always worth multiple viewings.
Good film, was surprised I liked it as I can?t generally stand Cameron Crowe films. Great cast too!
The soundtrack alone had me hooked. A great look into the thriving music scene of the 1970's and what goes on behind the scenes without being too sleazy. It shows little, but leaves a lot to the imagination. You feel the bond from the characters as they argue, love and even break...( read more)
Many guys worship this film because it is genius, looks like I didn't get it. I disliked it though... It forcedly tries to be smart and cool at the same time, but Cameron Crowe was not the adequate guy to accomplish such pretentious task. Enjoyable, to say the least.
65/100
Great music, and you want to see it over and over. See if you like rock especially classic.
A great film with an insight into the world of rock and roll. There is much to admire about this film, namely the superb acting from all the cast but in particular, Fugit, Hudson and McDormand. Great story but perhaps goes on for a little too long.
Cameron Crowe's semi-autobiographical looks at rock journalism in the 70's is a completely fresh and absolutely amazing film. The cast is superb as well as the awesome soundtrack that any classic rock fan can enjoy. Almost famous is one of the best movies I have ever seen.
Semi-autobiographical look back at the world of rock 'n roll as it existed in the early 1970s, though as background elements to a coming-of-age story. The screenplay sparkles with wit and intelligence, the protagonist is effectively underplayed by Patrick Fugit, while Kate Hudson...( read more)
With a musical score of Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Neil Young, Iggy & The stooges and David Bowie (+ more) you´re pretty much at home already at that. But the fiction band Stillwater actually works as well, It's just the main boy charachter that feels a bit boring.
I didn't love it as much the second and third time around, but it's still a very good movie with great music! The quietness of Kate Hudson's role is amazing, and also something I don't think she'll ever be able to do again.
GREAT MOVIE!!
NOMINATED:
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS- KATE HUDSON
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS- FRANCES McDORMAND
I like to rewatch my favourites from time to time....and this has always been in my top five. Kate Hudson at her best as Penny Lane. Philip Seymour Hoffman is a revelation as Lester Bangs. Sex, drugs, Rock n' Roll. This movie is a blast!

Well I wasn't hugging myself but Almost Famous is a good non-annoying feel-good depiction that has some interesting moments but it seems that it doesn't dare to dig further & decieds to keep the feel-good atmosphere until the end, Avoiding some disastrous cliches near the end sa...( read more)
A dream of rock and roll and beauty, of teenage angst and drug addled demigods, a place in the heart of music.
FEEEEEVER DOOOGG!!! The song is stuck in my head now! Well, putting Kate Hudson's cute face on the cover is what got me to see it, sex really does sell. I was surprised to see that her role was a supporting one however, a marketing tactic to sell the movie. Still, a good film non...( read more)
Too much of a teen flick and not enough of a eye-opening rock flick. I think Almost Famous could have been brilliant, with a really fun premise and enough of a promising story. For me, it's a just too cheesy and a little forced. When you're dealing with something based on real li...( read more)
I generally try my best to not see things completely in black and white, not to be biased, and to be accomodating and not too rigid in my views, but all these admirable aims fall by the wayside when it comes to Kate Hudson - I CAN'T STAND HER!!!
I can't stand her in utterly shit...( read more)
Fantastic coming-of-age road movie with a neat rock 'n' roll slant. Good, if slightly hokey, story and fantastic soundtrack make for a very entertaining film from Cameron Crowe.
THE BEST. It totally captured the era in american history. Every single acting performance was spot on in this True story with the names changed to protect the "innocent". A charming road story of a young man realizing what's out in the world. The soundtrack is also unbelievable.
felt a little bit overlong for me,.oh,and camron crowe really wasted zooey deschannel talent in this movie
