Paramount Plus EssentialParamount Plus EssentialTwenty-five years later, Almost Famous remains a love letter to rock, to journalism, and to the universal experience of growing up — feeling a little out of place, a little in love, and completely transformed by the people and stories that cross our path. It’s one of those films that endures not because it is perfect, but because it is honest.
A host of great supporting performances prove key to the movie's rewatchability as well as those two big ones, particularly Jason Lee as the band's hopelessly jealous lead singer, Fairuza Balk as the band girls' elder stateswoman, and Philip Seymour Hoffman in a pitch-perfect turn as the most notorious young curmudgeon in rock history, critic Lester Bangs.
