Oh dear.
The trials and tribulations of a young Asian man and his connection with Bruce Springsteen helping him through his challenges with love and family, becoming a writer in a politically active, racial, Thatcherite, 80's music environment in a repressive but loving stereotypical 70/80's Asian (Pakistani) family.
This film is confused. It's not very funny, has no great acting, is lost. It mixes a coming of age, love story, in a racially challenged time, blurring into Mamma Mia style scenes, with bad singing etc. It felt amateurish, with a couple of laughs. It just couldn't quite pull it off. It had for me a few seriously cringe moments.
I didn't hate it, it wasn't horrible and had elements of sweet, but a 5 was all I could muster. Sadly, I wouldn't bother.
