by AliventiAsylum  in Movies,  - Top 50, Jun 27 '01
Pros: great script, acting deserved more awards than it received
Cons: nothing
I missed out on the grand old days of rock & roll. As I started developing an interest in my own music, disco was king. I soon got past that and found the early 80's new wave and punk, along with true rock music from before the disco era. So maybe ...

Pros: Great story, great acting and great 70's music
Cons: A little too good to be true
I somehow managed to miss "Almost Famous" when it was in the theaters. My son told me that I would like it because the music was from the '70's. I did like it and the music
was great but so was the coming of age story of a young man growing up in...

Pros: Detailed and moving with top-notch cast
Cons: None - unless you don't like rock music
Almost Famous is a movie about a group of dreamers and their dreams. Set in 1973, the head dreamer in this tale is William Miller (Patrick Fugit), a precocious teenager who writes music reviews for his high school paper, but wants to be a rock...

by Goatius in Movies, , Sep 23 '00
Pros: Terrific performances, especially Crudup, Lee, Hoffman, great screenplay
Cons: A few weird, rough moments
Cameron Crowe's pseudo-autobiographical film about his early days as a rock journalist in the early 70s flies high due to an absolutely marvelous screenplay and some of the best acting in film thus far this year. Crowe crafts a very realistic film...

Pros: Wonderful story, very realistic and entertaining
Cons: None!
30 minutes into Almost Famous, you will know why it is up for so many Oscars. Cameron Crowe (the writer/director) has made a great find in Kate Hudson (daughter of Goldie Hawn). Hudson is pure magic on screen. You absolutely cannot keep your eyes off...

Pros: Sex, drugs and rock-and-roll: the year's most moral movie
Cons: The first song is by Alvin and the Chipmunks...but don't worry, the beat picks up
Almost Famous might just be the greatest rock-and-roll movie ever made (with apologies to Grease, The Rose and This is Spinal Tap). It is certainly one of the greatest movies of 2000—twelve months that are shaping up as the Year of...

Pros: Billy Crudup, Jason Lee, Kate Hudson, Patrick Fugit, Phillip Seymour Hoffman
Cons: None
What a great movie this was! This is based on Cameron Crowe's teen years when he became the youngest reporter for Rolling Stone Magazine. He was only 15 years old at the time and got to travel with some of the best known rock...

by Sloucho - Top 500, Mar 26 '01
Pros: Superb acting--particularly in the minor roles.
Cons: Cameron Crowe is apparently cooler than I am.
It wasn't the unfortunate name of actor Billy Crudup that kept me from watching this film when it initially came out; it was the name of writer/director Cameron Crowe. I associate 'Cameron' with James Cameron, director of Titanic. Strike one. I...

by thevoid99 - Top 100, Dec 06 '01
Pros: Great Rock N' Roll Movie from Cameron Crowe.
Cons: None Man!
Throughout his film career, Cameron Crowe has already amassed himself an impressive career as a screenwriter and director. In 1982, he wrote the screenplay to the 80s teen comedy film “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” to rave reviews and box...

by kchowell - Top 1000, Sep 27 '00
Pros: Talented ensemble cast; great moments
Cons: Some gratuitous pulling of heartstrings
Cameron Crowe’s latest directorial effort, Almost Famous, may be characterized by some as a film about a fictional seventies rock band, Stillwater, and their quest for fame. However, Almost Famous is actually about the emotional dynamics...

Pros: Acting. Direction. Climax. Script.
Cons: Penny Lane's last moment.
Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous (2000) opened to rave reviews because it touched the hearts of geezers everywhere. Here was a film that ubiquitously classic-rocked out and made innocuous pot-shots at household names of all types. Hunter S. Thompson, ...

Pros: It's authenticity, it's perfect mixture of comedy, drama, and documentary.
Cons: None, in my opinion.
Watching "Almost Famous" was one of those rare movie experiences, where I continued to sit in the theatre, reading all the rolling credits at the end, and wishing I could watch it again, right then.
I didn't want it to be over. This...

by Joubert - Top 500, May 02 '01
Pros: Solid story, wonderful cast, good direction
Cons: Nothing major
Watch a movie in which the main character seems an extension of how you see a past self and your perspective may be forever altered.
I experienced this epiphany when I first saw Almost Famous on an airplane several months ago. Knowing...
