The answer

The movie was Almost Famous (2000).

• Experience it. Enjoy it. Just don't fall for it.
• "The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you're uncool."
• A semi-autobiographical coming-of-age drama set in 1973, it won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay — its writer-director drew it from his own teenage years covering rock music.
• Frances McDormand and a breakout, Golden Globe-winning Kate Hudson co-star; Philip Seymour Hoffman plays a real-life rock critic who mentors the young lead.
• This Cameron Crowe film follows a precocious 15-year-old on a dream assignment from Rolling Stone, touring with an up-and-coming rock band; the whole tour bus famously sings along to Elton John's "Tiny Dancer," and the recurring rallying cry is "It's all happening."
