ThiefHott Too much of everything
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
shaughne1 This movie is probably FUBU: For Us By Us. I doubt this movie is useful to people that weren't Springsteen fans going into it. It doesn't explain what Bruce did, where he came from, or anything like that. It just tries to show you how much he means to his fans. How much we look at him as part of our own identity. This isn't about understanding Bruce, it's about understanding us. I've been a fan for most of my life, since I was listening to Live 75-85 on the cassette player in my dad's car. This movie just killed me. It was the closest thing to seeing him live. Not that the live footage they used was actually that good, that wasn't the point. It makes you feel like you're a part of a community. And it lets you revel in that sense of community, and feel connected to some people who approach Bruce a little different than you, but probably feel the same thing... I was crying like half the time.If you've ever been at a Bruce Springsteen concert and hugged a stranger for the first time in your life, this movie wants to explain why. "Springsteen and I" resonated to me as a Bruce Springsteen fan in a huge way. I can't evaluate it objectively as a film, but it rang true in the most important way for me.
karlthomas96 As a big Boss music fan, especially of his earlier stuff, I was looking forwards to seeing this film. I thought it had some great moments and I really enjoyed hearing stories from a variety of people who, like me have really felt a deep sense of connection from the music of Bruce Springsteen. Great stories, great concert footage, really glad I did not miss it. Perhaps it could have been edited better or something in places and I also felt it was also a little bit creepy at some points. But overall it was touching and well worth watching and great for anybody who wants to experience the excitement of the Boss concerts, but never did before. Overall there are many classic tales over the years, and it's an amazing insight into the devotion of Bruce's loyal fan base.
lyntierney I was just wondering.. Will there ever be a Springsteen & I Part 2?? I Loved It! Want to see more! I have a great Springsteen Story & I feel like I missed the boat! I actually got to kiss him in the front row of the Boston Garden in 1990! There's so much more to the story too! I went the night before & got thrown out because the security guard said I mauled Bruce which is very untrue! I'm a 100 pounds & definitely not the mauling type! LOL! I did get to touch him while he was being lifted threw the crowd as a matter of fact I have a copy of the National Enquirer with Bruce on the front page & you can see me reaching out to him! After getting thrown out my older brother left with me so I wouldn't be alone on the streets of Boston, the next day a popular Boston radio station WBCN was giving away front row tickets to the show the following night! You had to be the 52nd caller & guess the title of the song the they played a bit of..! & Guess what it was me! & the song was I'm a Rocker! I won & Was in the front row with the Brother that left with me the night before & Bruce helped me up on the chair & proceeded to kiss me on the lips! Greatest night of my life not to mention at the end of the show, he gave me his Santa hat after performing Santa Claus is Coming to Town! The Radio Station told my whole story on the radio the next day.. Just Awesome! Had to share! & If there is another Springsteen & I, I want In, I still have the Santa Hat, The tape of the station telling my story & the cut out of the National Enquirer! That's All! Had to get that out! Thanks for reading! :)
jillblackstone26 Yes I'm from NJ but no I was not a Springsteen fan until a friend dragged me to a concert at the Boston Garden during winter finals my first year of college. And that night was life- changing. I've seen him maybe 75 times since then, but never overseas. Only one show failed to amaze. I also have a life, I like other things, and I know that Bruce Springsteen like any other public figure is still just a guy. I don't think he's a god, or my God. But there is nothing like a Springsteen concert. It is transforming.So I was really looking forward to this documentary. The first 20-30 minutes were excruciating and all I could think was, wait it out because it's cool to see London Calling on a huge screen. The shaky cell phone videos were headache and nausea inducing and I kept thinking, where was Ridley Scott when they were putting this together? Then it got really good. I LOOOOOVED the couple where the guy doesn't like the music, he got funnier every time he opened his mouth. I loved the woman in Copenhagen. She was very real, she seemed like someone I'd like to know. And that's kind of the point of this film, I think -- how strangers can share an experience through music or art or any common interest. The guy who works at the stadium was really compelling. So articulate. When he said he was walking home after a concert and his girlfriend said, "At a certain point I felt like I was the only one there, that he was talking and singing directly to me," THAT is the magic of a Springsteen concert and his unique talent. The guy in Poland was profound, even though he said very little. On the other hand, some of the people made me sad in their extremism. Bruce himself wasn't really important to this film. It was nice that he met the people at the end but it didn't make or break the experience for me.Overall it was like a really really good Kickstarter project on steroids. Clever, interesting, thought-provoking, very funny. And there's still magic in all the memories of all those Jersey summer nights caring only about the music for the moment.
