A shameless crowd-pleaser with great music

“Blinded by the Light is a feel-good triumph, an immensely entertaining and heartfelt coming-of-age story supported by an exceptional soundtrack filled with irresistible 1980s music.

"2019 A delightful movie about the struggle of immigrants, the clash of generations, the love of family, the influence of music, and the power of dreams. A special bonus if you even mildly like Bruce Springsteen. Sure, it is full of cliches and novice filmmaking techniques but this is a film where those things didn't matter too much. My biggest issue was the poor editing... but that is not enough reason to not see it! Go see it! "
