Plot
Summary: William Miller is a 15 year old
kid, hired by Rolling Stone magazine to tour with,

band. This wonderfully witty coming of age film follows
William as he falls face first to confront life, love,
and lingo.
Comments:
Great
film...buy the Director's Cut DVD! There are two things
that make this film one of the best made in the last
few years- characters and music. I am personally not
a big fan of 70s music, but it is used very well in
this film, most of my favourite scenes are made all
the more memorable by the music, which includes America
(Simon & Garfunkel), Tiny Dancer, Mona Lisa's
and Mad Hatters (both Elton John), River (Joni Mitchell)
Paranoid (Black Sabbath) and Feel Flows (The Beach
Boys) Most of the actors and actresses in this film
give the performance of their lives, Frances McDormand
being especially comical as William's mother, and
many of the best moments are all hers. William himself
has an endearing quality about him to the audience,
and I'm surprised I haven't seen Patrick Fugit in
any other films since this one. A great film, and
the Directors Cut DVD is well worth the money, especially
for those of you (like me) who had previously only
watched the UK version.
