Featured on over 160 critics' Top Ten lists, Almost Famous is the humorously poignant coming of age story set against the backdrop of rock 'n roll. The story follows teenage reporter William Miller as he lands the opportunity of a lifetime: an assignment from Rolling Stone magazine to hit the road with an up-and-coming band. He soon finds out that there's a lot more to write home about than the music. The film features breakout performances from Hollywood's hottest young talent: Billy Crudup, Kate Hudson (who was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as "Penny Lane" Goodman) and Patrick Fugit, along with Academy Award winner (Fargo) Frances McDormand.

"Almost Famous rocks!" Mike Wilbur, NBC News
"Oh, what a lovely film." Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"...a winner." Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"Funny and insightful!" Andrew Johnston, US Weekly

...writer-director Cameron Crowe...used the free ride he earned with Jerry Maguire's success to create something to cherish and enjoy, an intimate yet universal film that will delight you and involve your heart. - Kenneth Turan
The New York Times 9 of 10
...The movie's real pleasures are to be found not in its story but in its profusion of funny, offbeat scenes. It's the kind of picture that invites you to go back and savor your favorite moments like choice album cuts. - A.O. Scott
