Oh, what a lovely film. I was almost hugging myself while I watched it. "Almost Famous" is funny and touching in so many different ways. ...read the complete Almost Famous movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Chicago Reader (Jonathan Rosenbaum)

Top Top Cameron Crowe's first feature as writer-director, Say Anything... (1989), lost money, which broke my heart. His third feature, Jerry Maguire (1996), cleaned up, which broke my spirit.

iF Magazine

Writer/director Cameron Crowe has created four films in the past 11 years. While that’s certainly not a lot of movies (especially by Hollywood standards), you can always expect a touching and personal story from him.
