3/4
There are delicious contrasts between the musicians in full-on punk-rock mode and in full-on dad mode. Go to Full Review

Blink-182's Mark Hoppus has an especially good line about the all-consuming nature of being a pop: "It's like red matter from Star Trek. It just sucks everything in." Go to Full Review

4/5
These cute little domestic interludes give The Other F Word a light humor and large awwwww factor that's unavoidable, understandable and entirely un-punk. Go to Full Review

3/4
I've always found the parent-child relationship fascinating, but too many filmmakers have a hard time illuminating the complexities. That isn't a problem for this director, who's gathered up a particularly forthcoming combination of subjects. Go to Full Review

That unlikely image -- of boys who have railed against authority turning into men who have it -- is explored in Andrea Blaugrund Nevins' entertaining, even eye-opening doc. Go to Full Review

Doom D @DoomDumas Jul 15, 2020 Finalement plus un film sur le monde punk que sur leur rôle de père qui est assez secondaire au final. See more Apr 23, 2018 Very good documentry about Punk Rockers and being a Father. See more Mar 14, 2015 I Love punk music but the fact they kinda blamed the Internet and illegal downloads for the decline of their sales and made it sound like they have to work in a band and tour for a long time kinda pissed me off that they are looking at being in a band is just a job now because they have kids. I don't know just made me sad as a punk fan See more May 22, 2014 Great movie that talks about becoming a father after being a rebel and reject. See more Feb 22, 2014 Opened my eyes to such a new perspective on music, fatherhood and life in general. There is plenty of the original F word here, but it's well worth watching. See more Dec 1, 2013 As a fan of most of the punk rockers, this movie provided a really interesting look in the personal lives of these guys and there relationships with their kids. Very well done.
