However, it comes as no surprise that the film's acting star is Kate Hudson, daughter of Goldie Hawn. The film boasts absolutely incredible performances, Patrick Fugit is a newcomer and has terrific potential, Frances McDormand is emotionally stunning as an over-protective mother and Billy Crudup, who I underrated at first, gives a performance of believability and power. The film is classically cool and endlessly enjoyable, making it by far one of the top 5 movies of last year. While accepted by the band (other members are Jason Lee, John Fedevich and Mark Kozeleck), they nonetheless refer to him as "the enemy - a rock critic". He responds with complete infatuation with her, but he is equally enamored with the charismatic guitarist.
"Penny Lane" (Kate Hudson), the Band Aid's leader is enamored with the group leader (Billy Crudup), but befriends the teen. There he meets the "Band Aids", a group of girls that refuse to be called groupies because they are dedicated only to specific bands. Slipping into an inner group connected with Stillwater, Rolling Stone agrees to bankroll him on a trip with the group.
The two become fast friends and Bangs acts as his mentor as Rolling Stone magazine comes calling. He submits those to Creem magazine writer Lester Bangs (Phillip Seymour Hoffman) and gets his attention. As a teen, he makes record reviews for an underground newspaper. The sister leaves home and leaves the young boy her record collection, which immediately seizes his attention. As a younger boy, his sister (Zooey Deschanel) and his widowed mother Elaine (Frances McDormand) had fought about the mother's control over the family and her denial of rock music. A 15 year old boy named William Miller (Patrick Fugit) gets an opportunity to travel with a rock band, Stillwater on a 1973 tour. It's a movie not only for people who love 70's rock bands, but for all movie-goer's who really love the feeling of coming out of the cinema feeling totally fulfilled.
Almost Famous is a stunning, thought-provoking film that comes at you directly from the eye of the camera and hits you with a hard bang. One of the most critically acclaimed movie experiences of the year 2000, Almost Famous is the second feature film to come out Cameron Crowe, and he beats his first effort, Jerry Maguire by a mile.
On a rating scale of 0 to 100 I gave Almost Famous a score of 95.
