The faults with this movie lie solely at the feet of the director and because of that it's self-indulgent and masturbatory. Crowe is such a total light-weight his capacity should have been as second unit director and maybe advisor and only if he was on a very short chain in the hands of the person who should have directed this movie: Chet Flippo. Read "On the Road with The Rolling Stones" and you'll see how good this movie could have been.

The only thing "Almost Famous" did for me was answer the question, "What type of groupie would a band like Kansas attract?". As soon as it was over I watched "Velvet Goldmine". It took away the pain.
