There is actually a lot of back story to this movie and I was hopping they would be on the DVD but no.
 An unexpected insight into a female character, 2007-09-04
This is a well-done movie about an almost-famous rock
band touring in the seventies as seen through the eyes
of an almost-employed young journalist who's been hired
to follow them.
Most of the characters are expectable if not exactly pre-
dictable. The surprise-and for me, the delight-of this movie
is the depiction of the young, drifting groupie. Kate Hudson
pulls off the perfect combination of toughness, vulnerability
and romantic dreaminess.
In the very masculine world of rock movies, this depiction of
a young woman stands out not just for its rarity but for the
contrast of her many-layered humanity with the testosterone-
fueled excess of the rest of the cast.
In the very best sense, this is a superb chick flick about a
remarkable woman.

Worth it in spades, 2007-08-22
If you love this film, you'll love the unedited version...deepens the experience. The VO commentary with Crowe and his mom rocks.
Original, believable characters. Good Stuff., 2007-08-10
There aren't many movies that truly sell the characters. To be quiet honest most characters in movies are either one dimensional or a characature of real people. I love it that the lead guitar player of StillWater is egocentric and self-centered yet is still a pretty good guy. All the characters on this movie have that real, flawed, and multidimensional quality.
The story is also original and doesn't try to be anything more than what it is. The plot is solid but still loose enough for the characters to drive the movie. Really brings the 70's alive without parodying it. Great movie, great soundtrack.
This movie is the antidote to the big budget summer blockbuster crap that has choked the movie industry particularly in the last 10 years. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves character driven movies.
 This movie deserves the praise!, 2007-08-06
Have you ever seen a movie that everyone was raving about and wondered after it was over what in the world they were talking about? Well, rest assured this isn't a movie where that will happen. It's funny, yet truly touching at the same time, a hard mix to achieve. I really think there's something in this movie for almost everyone and I recommend it wholeheartdly!
