A high-school boy (Patrick Fugit) is given the chance to write a story for Rolling Stone Magazine about an up-and-coming rock band as he accompanies it on their concert tour.Jason Lee as a rock star? Jimmy Fallon as a record company agent? And even a young Zooey Deschanel being somewhat charming (one of her few roles where she pulls this off)? Crowe has consistently made some fun films, and this is definitely one of them, drawing from his own life experience.The music is great, Frances McDormand makes a great (and believable) dominant mother (who still allows her son to run off). Kate Hudson is not as charming as the film wants her to be, but ultimately she does not have to be, so that works. She is flawed, after all.This is definitely a film that will only grow in reputation.

I love this movie. It's got it all drama, romance and comedy. > People that give this movie a bad review, have no business writing a movie review.
