ALMOST FAMOUS
Cinemax, 8:00 p.m. ET
Cameron Crowe wrote and directed this somewhat autobiographical account of his years as an underage journalist for Rolling Stone. And it’s so heartfelt and pure and honest, it’s a delight — as when the passengers on a touring rock bus begin singing spontaneously to Elton John and Bernie Taupin’s “Tiny Dancer." It’s a small but perfect moment, in a film loaded with them. Patrick Fugit stars as Crowe’s alter ego, Kate Hudson became a movie star thanks to her work as an enthusiastic groupie here — and watch for a trio of supporting players who found subsequent stardom on TV: Jason Lee of My Name Is Earl, Anna Paquin of True Blood and Zooey Deschanel of New Girl.
