almost famous

for 122 minutes in 2000, kate hudson was a sure-fire star. she was incandescent, she was a supernova, she was penny lane. sure, in the ensuing five years she's only managed to lose a guy in ten days and not much else but she's still goldie hawn's daughter -- and married to a rock star. so really, "almost famous" was both her breakout movie and an apt description for her subsequent career. the relevant point here is that cameron crowe (say anything, singles, jerry maguire) uses a semi-autobiographical story, patented cameroncrowe-isms, and the luminosity of kate hudson to craft yet another modern day masterpiece.
