Released in 2000, yet taking place in the 1970's, this movie involves a fifteen year old rock n roll enthusiast and journalist for an underground newspaper in San Diego named William who goes on a wild journey with fictional band Stillwater and its "groupies." Although it did not do very well in theaters, it received amazing reviews from the critics.
PROS: -authentic, far from cliché coming-of-age story
-GREAT MUSIC! Look out for John Lennon's "Tiny Dancer" scene
-genuine chemistry between the cast
-based off of real experiences of the director Cameron Crowe, who is the inspiration for William and his adventures
CONS: no sequel (although we all know how that would turn out...)
MY REVIEW: 5 out of 5 stars
NOTE: Do not watch the trailer! In my opinion, it gives away too much. :)
