Almost Famous DVD, 2000

Writer-director Cameron Crowe brings the 1970s music scene to life with his semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story of a teen journalist who goes on the road with a rock band.

Uncool 15-year-old William Miller is living every teenager's dream. He's touring with Stillwater, an up-and-coming rock band and writing about it for Rolling Stone magazine, whose editors are unaware of his young age. Although he is cautioned not to befriend the musicians, Miller befriends both the band and the Band-Aids - the girls who hang around with the band. But with Rolling Stone demanding a story that could very well cause him to betray his newfound friends, his over-protective mother keeping a regular check on him, and tensions within the band reaching breaking point, William finds that he must tread very carefully indeed.
