Almost Famous is the movie Cameron Crowe has been waiting a lifetime to tell. The fictionalisation of Crowe's days as a teenage reporter for Creem and Rolling Stone has all the well-written characters and wonderful "movie moments" that we expect from Crowe (Jerry Maguire), but the film has an intangible something extra--an insider's touch that will turn the film into the ode to '70s Rock & Roll for years to come. We are introduced to Crowe's alter ego, William Miller (Patrick Fugit), at home, where his progressive mom (a superb Frances McDormand) has outlawed rock music and sister Anita (Zooey Deschanel) has slipped him LPs that will "set his mind free." Following the wisdom of Creem's disheveled editor, Lester Bangs (Philip Seymour Hoffman in an instant-classic performance), Miller gets on the inside with the up-and-coming band Stillwater (a fictionalised mixture of the Allman Brothers, Led Zeppelin, and others). A simple visit with the band turns into a three-week, life-altering odyssey into the heyday of American rock. Of the characters he meets on the road, the two most important are groupie extraordinaire Penny Lane (Kate Hudson in a star-making performance) and Stillwater's enigmatic lead guitarist (Billy Crudup), who keeps stringing Miller along for an interview. From the handwritten credits (done by Crowe) to the bittersweet finale, Crowe's comedic valentine is an indelible, heartbreaking romance of music, women, and the privilege of youth. --Doug Thomas

3.0 out of 5 stars Where are the extras ?, 23 April 2008
This is the extended version of the film (aka Untitled) and is BluRay regions A,B,C (according to the box). The soundtrack is in English TrueHD and a strange Polish soundtrack (it's the English soundtrack with Polish spoken over the top). You get two extras "Love Comes And Goes" which is a series of out-takes from the film and "Lester Bangs Interview" which is 5 minutes of the man talking about music. Picture and sound are, as expected, an improvement on the DVD, especially for the concert footage. Though what happened to all of the extras from the double DVD Untitled set is anyone's guess. So the film itself is five star but this BluRay edition only gets 3 because it doesn't even have the extras from the existing DVD set.

5.0 out of 5 stars ALL REGION DISC!, 9 Aug 2009
This is is a great film and Blu-ray disc. It is only available in Europe. It is also an All Region Blu-ray disc, which means it can be played in all 3 regions: A/B/C. Why doesn't Amazon UK include Region information for all Blu-ray discs listed? This would be so helpful for overseas customers. I ordered 3 Blu-ray discs from Amazon.UK which are not availble in the US. Only one of the 3 discs would play on my US player. If I knew which discs were which Region, then I would have known which ones to order. How about including Region info for all Blu-ray discs on the Amazon.UK site?!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Soundtrack of your life, 25 April 2008
By GB "Rad Dudeski" (Surrey, U.K.) - See all my reviews
This is simply one of the best films I have ever seen. As someone that grew up in the 70s, this brings back so many memories and to see it in all of its Blue-Ray glory is amazing! True, it's missing some of the extras from the original 2-disc relaease. However, for anybody that loves music the loss is easily made up for by the true HD sound and picture quality. A solid purchase.
