I admit, I'm really not that much. I appreciate his music, but I kind of feel the way some of the other characters in the movie expressed it. But I LOVED the movie. It perfectly captured Thatcherite Britain, and it was a really sweet movie. I've since read the book by the author of the screenplay, Welcome to Bury Park, and have become a big fan of his writing.
I have a good friend who is at LEAST as much of a Springsteen fan as the author. He regularly flies over here to see him play, and took two trips to see his Broadway show when it was running, and has met The Boss multiple times, so I can kind of understand the obsession. He's been to Spain, Germany, Ireland, you name it - wherever Bruce is playing, Tony goes. So I think he's probably met the author, too.
Anyway, it's worth seeing, if you are not hopelessly jaded, or if you like music.
I liked Yesterday, too. This was quite different, so it's worth seeing them both.
