    Notice Simmons doesn't even ask for it to be a Rock Band. Just a band. That being the case, give me The Folksmen and The New Main Street Singers from "A Mighty Wind" over "Almost Famous."

    Spinal Tap are the Brett Favre of fictional rock bands.

    I'll go against the grain and defend Simmons. I LOVE Almost Famous. It's not just a movie about a fictional rock band. It's a coming-of-age story with rock music as the backdrop. It's sappy at times, but what Cameron Crowe movie isn't? I also liked Jerry Maguire and Singles, so you see where I'm coming from.

    I agree with the rest of you that Blues Brothers and Spinal Tap are better movies about fake rock bands.

    Drew only has good things to say about food, TV and music. He's like a walking Weird Al song.

    CB4 and All You Need is Cash are better than Almost Famous, and CB4 is a piece of shit.

    Would The Blues Brothers count as a movie about a fictional band? Because if it does I'm pretty sure it is way better than Almost Famous.

    Judd Apatow was also a writer for The Critic, which has become dated but was the funniest thing on TV when it ran.

    @Bobby Big Wheel: I actually just recently watched the entire series again, and while a lot of the movie parodies don't hold up, all the other jokes are still gold.

    If there's a break anywhere along the ridge, I will jimmy that fucker open to reach the sweet, sweet nutmeat inside. I don't know if this is something you should actually do, by the way.
