Movie Reviews of Almost Famous
Movie Review: A fine film
Summary: 4 Stars
"Almost Famous" has all the right ingredients to be a success; a nostalgic coming of age story about a young man who comes to terms with himself and the world, an utterly appealing cast of actors, and a writer/director who has already earned respect and praise through his previous work. The movie is impossible to dislike it, mainly because it is crafted with such heart-felt sincerity, and it helps greatly when the array of performances shine from beginning to end. In terms of touching upon issues such as growing up and realizing your own identity, "Almost Famous" does a fairly effective job using the 70's rock-era as a backdrop and a naive 15 year old as the emotional centre. It is evident that Cameron Crowe is infusing the film with his own experiences, and it generates a feel of affection (a bit TOO much at times) for the story and it's characters. He has a great eye for detail, with both the physical and emotional dynamics. I was genuinely impressed with Kate Hudson's performance as Penny Lane, she helps build the most poignant moments, and plays her role with beguiling nuance. The only real fault in "Almost Famous" is how it meanders at times, losing focus on themes at hand, plus there's a plane scene towards the end that feels like a total contrivance. But overall, this is still a good movie that will definitely be remembered as one of 2000's few cinematic highlights. Oh yeah, and the soundtrack is an all-around winner too.
