This may be the most entertaining film of 2000. Cameron Crowe directs this autobiopic about his experiences with Rolling Stone and his interview with a rising band. It is a coming-of-age story, possibly one of the best in years.
Cameron Crowe seems to have a knack for writing memorable lines and for keeping the viewer's interest. I would go as far as to say that Almost Famous is his best film, beating out such films as Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Jerry Maguire. It is a completely unpredictable film at many points, and, while it never uses the mainstream techniques, it can still please any audience.
The cast is well put together, and they have a lot of chemistry. Although the character of William Miller is somewhat of an enigma, Billy Crudup, Jason Lee, Kate Hudson, Frances McDormand, and Philip Seymour Hoffman all give top rate performances. Almost Famous is the most captivating film of 2000. And when one watches it, they won't want it to end.
