Cameron Crowe

Crowe wrote for Rolling Stone as a teenager, and Almost Famous turns that into a film: a fifteen-year-old aspiring rock journalist goes on tour with a band. His characters are optimists with their hearts out. Lloyd Dobler, an average student in Say Anything..., sets out to win the class valedictorian. In Jerry Maguire a successful sports agent questions his purpose one night and loses nearly everything for it.
