And Billy Crudup, as band Stillwater's charismatic lead guitarist, shines. Kate Hudson, in her breakout role as groupie "Penny Lane", gave her character depth beyond what might have been a limiting role. Fugit, for his part, had a convincing performance as the shy, awkward teenager struggling to be a journalist but at the same time aching to belong.
Frances McDormand was brilliant as William's (newcomer Patrick Fugit) well-meaning but overbearing mother. So what sets Almost Famous apart? The acting, for one. There have been dozens of movies made about the rock and roll lifestyle: the drugs, the sex, the fights, and all the bumps on the road to success. If it sounds familiar, it's probably because the story is hardly new. Finally, a movie worth the full price of a ticket! Almost Famous is Cameron Crowe's semi-autobigraphical story of an aspiring rock journalist who goes on tour with a band in the 1970's.
