Netflix Stars - Almost Famous


4/5 stars - I can't believe it took so long for me to see this (10 years?!). Everyone looked so young! Outstanding casting performances. (Billy Crudup looked a little like a scruffy John Oates from Hall & Oates.) A little hard for my millennium teen to grasp the era and all it entailed. (rotary dial phones?!) And and eye-opening history background for me - I was of the David Cassidy/Donny Osmond Top 40 bubblegum radio upbringing. Anyways, well worth adding to your queue if you haven't already, for those Netflix doldrum times. Did I mention I hate how they have to hold back new releases 30 days in order to give the studios time to sell in the stores and by PPV first?
