Almost Famous

Set in 1973, a pivotal time in the history of rock and roll, Almost Famous chronicles the funny and poignant coming of age of 15-year-old William (Patrick Fugit). When his love of music lands him an assignment from Rolling Stone to interview up-and-coming band Stillwater, fronted by guitarist Russell Hammond (Billy Crudup) and singer Jeff Bebe (Jason Lee). William embarks on an eye-opening journey on tour with the band, over the objections of his protective mother (Frances McDormand). With the help of the lovely Penny Lane (Kate Hudson), William finds himself being drawn into the bands inner circle. But as the young reporter loses the objectivity required to tell his story honestly, he learns a life-changing lesson about the importance of family, the ones we inherit, and the ones we create.
