This was pretty much what I expected. It was entertaining, moderately inspiring, and taught me a bit about Springsteen.

A standart coming of age story with a beautiful soundtrack by Bruce Springsteen. The story doesn't feel its potential. Pity.

Heartwarming and uplifting story about finding yourself through the power of music.

This is such a heartwarming film, if you're not a huge fan of Springsteen you will be at the end of this wholesome story.

I was frustrated with the wooden acting and TV movie-style directing. It seemed that no scene was as rich & touching as it could have been.

So corny, but so is Bruce. I did not expect to love this movie nearly as much as I did. Raw, real joy.

Touches on interesting themes regarding immigrant identity and prejudice but I found it to be too melodramatic to be enjoyed
