WATCHING:![]() Cameron Crowe - director A based-on-fact fictional tale of writer/director's Crowe's teen years as a Rolling Stone journalist. This is not a classic, but a sweet and bittersweet look back at rock and roll, coming of age, journalism and love. It is! Always a compelling watch - this was from my own DVD collection - in a very lighthearted, completely enjoyable way. Kate Hudson steals the movie as Penny Lane, the consumate Band-Aid, and Frances McDormand (as always) brings a neurotic brilliance to her role as the mother of the young Crowe . (Don't take drugs!)
