Almost Famous (2000): Revisiting Cameron Crowe's Coming Of Age Classic!
32For directors like Cameron Crowe, being uncool is a trademark. Unfortunately for him, he is VERY cool a result. Crowe has made classic features like Jerry Maguire, and Say Anything, as-well-as more obscure projects like Vanilla Sky. But one thing cannot be debated, his semi-autobiographical film, Almost Famous, is far and away one of the most beloved movies of his career. The movie stars Kate Hudson, Billy Cruddup, Patrick Fugit, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Jason Lee, Frances McDormand, Zooey Deschanel, Anna Paquin, and even Jimmy Fallon as characters based on real people that Crowe worked with during his time as a magazine journalist in California's 70s rock n' roll era. It's a wild film - but what REALLY happened in this story? Let's find out...
