Ordinary World becomes raggedly enjoyable thanks to the unexpected charms of its leading man Go to Full Review
Neil Genzlinger New York Times 10/13/2016
The film turns into a predictable midlife-crisis yarn. Go to Full Review
Tom Keogh Seattle Times 10/13/2016
3/4
The film distinguishes itself by what it lacks: simple, unrealistic answers to Perry's regrets and the hole in his soul. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
Ordinary World is unable to tap into the universal themes of being uneasy growing up and accepting responsibility because its main character is just so aloof in everything that he does. Go to Full Review
Andrew Parker The Gate 08/28/2018
It's not an unlikable film, but it ain't much. Go to Full Review

07/23/2022 I had a more redeeming experience on the toilet this morning See more 05/08/2020 Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong in his first leading role is fun to watch and the story is enjoyable, but it could use more work on the story and characters. See more 07/24/2019 Wish he would have gone to play with Joan Jet but a great performance all round See more 04/16/2019 Apart from having Billie as the lead actor, this is a pretty ordinary film with boring script. See more 04/23/2018 Decente, y la banda sonora es magnífica. El film es precioso de ver, la sinopsis no es nada del otro mundo, pero es algo típico de las películas dramáticas. Recalco el buen aura que desprende, eso sí. See more 04/07/2018 It's an oddly nice movie, which is not what i would've expected from the Green Day frontman. Predictable story, but with good music and surprisingly charming lead actor. I never would've pictured Billie in a typical "dad-role", but the American Idiot punk-rocker pulled it off well. It's also hard to believe he is nearing his 50s (even though he doesn't look that age), guess not even the most rebellious punks can stay young for long. See more Read all reviews
