"We're here for one reason -- because you're here," says the New Jersey native in his new documentary/biography Springsteen & I. The man has epitomized rock 'n' roll for 40 years, yet it's his Everyman sentiment and appreciation for the people who made him famous that is one of the biggest reasons for his undying fan base. Bruce Springsteen is an icon, and this film is a love song from his fans to him, told through their perspective. So basically it's going to be Jimmy Fallon onscreen for two hours screaming "Born to Run" lyrics at the camera. Just kidding... probably. The trailer shows a wide assortment of people describing their experiences with Springsteen and the magic that comes from seeing the legend perform. Cinemark Boynton Beach 14, located at 1151 N. Congress Ave. in Boynton Beach, will be screening Springsteen & I on July 22 at 7:30 p.m. Adults admission costs $15, kids $13, and seniors and students $14. Visit cinemark.com, or call 561-752-9797.
