I watched Almost Famous again last night and enjoyed it a lot more than the first time. I think perhaps my expectations were too lofty the first viewing being a Crowe fan, lover of classic rock and the Oscar-buzz surrounding it. Still not sure it warranted all the raves, but I felt more satisfied on my second helping. Frances McDormand and Philip Seymour Hoffman were both excellent.

And, Kate Hudson too. She was fabulous.

She was good in it, but I thought the Band Aids were the weakest part of the movie.

I agree, Scott. I didn't care for Kate Hudson in this film, or nearly any other movie she's made. She's an actress with no more than average talent.

Thanks for the reminder about this film. I wasn't overwhelmed with it the first time, and I'd forgetten Phillip Seymour Hoffman was in it. Maybe I'll catch it again if it pops up on cable.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.
