Saturday Night at the Movies: Almost Famous

Almost Famous is an incredible journey exploring rock 'n roll, the early 1970s, youth, hope, disappointment, ideals and achievement. In the film, William Miller (Patrick Fugit) is a smart and determined 15-year-old who wants to be a writer. Through tenacious resolve, he lands an assignment with Rolling Stone magazine for a profile of a rock band -- the magazine is unaware of his tender age. Oscar-winner Frances McDormand portrays his fiercely supportive mother, who drops him off at the band's concert with the admonition, "Don't do drugs!" Billy Crudup, the band's guitarist, gets William access to the concert and William soon finds himself on the road with the band. William relies on two guardians during his road odyssey. The first is a young woman -- she is approximately his age -- who calls herself Penny Lane (Kate Hudson). Penny shuns the term groupie and philosophically describes herself as a "Band Aide." The second -- via telephone -- is real-life, legendary rock critic Lester Bangs (Philip Seymour Hoffman), whom William calls in moments of crisis.
