Above all this movie excellently reflects the early seventies-pop music scene: flat, boring and uninspiring. Back then the whirlwinds of the Sixties had petered out, and Punk was yet to come.
Quite in line with this spirit, the story of Almost Famous does not press itself too much on you. It's about everything we all know when it comes to pop music: the glitter, the fame, the money, the booze and the dope, the fans and the groupies, and the merciless dropping of those who aren't up to the latest trends.
Really, I think this movie very balanced and well made. It's name is Almost Famous, it deals with the time when pop music was almost good.
