    Did anybody see this movie? It's fucking great!!!!!! It really shows a great experience of humanity and life itself.

    And so what if Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst are in it. It's Cameron Crowe, and he is a great fucking director. Case in point, "Almost Famous".

    I thought it was one of Crowe's weakest films, actually. Although it didn't help that I despise Kirsten Dunst, the problem was not so much with the actors as with the film's inability to maintain a cohesive theme throughout. It seemed to keep changing its mind about what it was about.

    I thought it was an okay film, not as good as Garden State, and certainly not as good as Almost Famous or Say Anything.

    I disagree, I really don't think that it's weak at all. The soundtrack is great. The acting is great. I do understand the plotline, I mean it isn't that hard to follow.

    I mean it is a lot better than all of the crap out there today. I think that's what make Cameron Crowe a great director. He doesn't want to sell out to Hollywood.

    haven't seen it but i don't think cameron crowes movies are very "excellent" the ones named above may have been "average" or "slightly above average" but they are quite overrated. Garden State was partially endearing, almost famous partially entertaining, Say anything partially remembered :)

    In My Humble Opinion Ofcourse!

    I think the music was good as music, but the music as a soundtrack was just bad. I think the approach to the music in this film was a little self indulgent.

    As for the film itself, I thought it was teerrrible. I just didn't get anything out of the reunion scene at the end, and it seemed like the whole time this guy was trying to insert trite little quirks and romantic details that just didn't work.

    There were some nice ideas, but not done very wall.

    Also, no chemistry. Orblando Bland doesn't to chemistry very well. Or at all!

    I liked it but in the beginning it was kind of slow. The theme was weak but it was a good all around movie with a great ending.

    one of my girlfriends liked it.. It doesn't really seem like a movie I would enjoy. However, I do like Orlando Bloom.

    You would enjoy it. It ain't a chick flick. And I think Kirsten Dunst is a great actress, even though she's done some pretty bad roles ("Bring It On" was probably the worst movie ever made, Bar None!). Orlando Bloom's a great actor too. I really enjoyed "Pirates Of The Carribean" and "Lord Of The Rings".
