Almost Famous

Almost Famous

2001

Stillwater (a rock group based on Led Zeppelin) is on the cusp of success, and 15-year-old William Miller (Patrick Fugit) is on the cusp of the rest of his life. The youngster cajoles Rolling Stone magazine's editor (via telephone) into an assignment to cover the band on a cross-country tour. Based on director Cameron Crowe's experiences, Almost Famous is an enchanting coming-of-age story.

Experience it. Enjoy it. Just don't fall for it.
