Starring Patrick Fugit, Kate Hudson, Billy Crudup, Jason Lee and Frances McDormand

Cameron Crowe views his life and experiences of his mid teen years as a rock critic for Rolling Stone Magazine, whom he shows through the eyes of his alter-ego, William Miller (who is played by Patrick Fugit), in the critically acclaimed film, "Almost Famous." William follows around a "mid level band struggling with their own limitations in the harsh face of stardom." which is known as "Stillwater." This movie follows "Stillwater" showing everything William writes about and Sees, and shows the life of 70's Rock n, Roll in its last drive before being killed by disco.

The Setting for the movie was in San Diego in the early 1970's. Williams's sister Anita (Zooey Deschantel) is shown as a "rebel" who believes in everything her mother is against. She causes conflict and problems at home but decides to leave home when she turned 18 to become a stewardess. Williams mother Elaine, whom is a conservative woman, also a very liberal woman, whom "decided to celebrate Christmas on a day in September when she knew it wouldn't be commercialized." Elaine is a very goo

A few days after building trust with the "Stillwater" crew William receives a call from Rolling Stone Magazine, they want him to write for them. So he pretends he's a bit older then he really is, without actually making anything up about his age, so he tells them he wants to write about "Stillwater," a "hard working band makes good." Rolling Stone likes this and offers to pay for everything. So with a tad bit of lecturing Williams mother allows him to go. As long as he doesn't miss any test. So he sets out on a journey with a band and a bunch of groupies. Which add up to a lot of parties. At the beginning of the trip, William realizes the relationship between Penny and Russell, who seemed to know each other far before they ever head out on the road. As the progresses it has great scenes of music which easily enough heals everything, as the band begins to fight. They get into a bicker about a T-shirt of the band, which seems to have Russell as the front man. This gets Jeff all wound up, and they single Russell out. Russell decides he needs something real, so him and William head over to a high school party. As they are hanging out with "real" Topeka people Russell begins to do a lot of acid. This acid lands him on the top of some kids house yelling, " I'm a golden god." But everything is solved when the band picks him up and they all start singing "Tiny Dancer" a popular hit from Elton John in the early Seventies.
