The film truly feels as if its director had a deep respect and adoration for his subject, which would make sense since he actually lived it. Crowe based William Miller (Patrick Fugit) and the film on his own experiences as a writer for Rolling Stone, his rise to maturity, and how his interview subjects would question his intentions. His first cover...
Normally opting for singular character-focused dramas like Say Anything, Jerry Maguire, or Vanilla Sky, Cameron Crowe mounted one of his largest and most impressive ensembles for Almost Famous. The film features a wide range of impressive talent with its newcomers and veterans. Crowe catches a variety of future stars before they take off – Zooey De...
As a quintessential “rock film,” Almost Famous should be expected to deliver great music and there is a tonne of it. It features original music played by Stillwater, an original score of acoustic guitar pieces written by Crowe’s then-wife Nancy Wilsonof Heart, and over fifty needle drops amounting to a music budget of over $3.5 million. While the “...
It’s perhaps his most endearing film, not only understanding the cornerstones of fandom but also youth in general. Almost Famousis a coming-of-age story about a 14-year-old whose experiences are fast-tracked.

May 13, 2022 · Senior Year. Comedy. 111 minutes ‧ R ‧ 2022. Christy Lemire. May 13, 2022. 4 min read. “Senior Year” takes two high-concept premises—the going-back-to-high-school movie and the waking-up-from-a-coma movie—and slams them together in an intermittently amusing but mostly obvious comedy.
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 23% of 60 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 4.3/10. The website's consensus reads: "In spite of a premise that promises to highlight Rebel Wilson with the appropriate level of pomp and circumstance, Senior Year is strictly remedial." [11]
May 19, 2022 · That's why it's surprising that Senior Year has obtained a 27% score on Rotten Tomatoes, meaning that 73% of reviews were below positive. I get comedy is subjective but this seems quite harsh.
