Parenting at its most punk rock, The Other F Word shares enlightening promises for tomorrow from the trailblazers of yesterday.

Joe Heim

Washington Post

There are delicious contrasts between the musicians in full-on punk-rock mode and in full-on dad mode.

Rated: 3/4

Philadelphia Inquirer

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."

Rated: 3/4

Amy Biancolli

Houston Chronicle

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.

Rated: 4/5

A film that should have its own special place among rock n' roll documentaries.

Rated: 3.0/4.0

Washington Examiner

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.

Rated: 3/4

Just when you thought parenthood had been done to death, [Andrea Blaugrund] Nevins has come along with an entirely fresh perspective reiterating the common wisdom from a completely different angle.

Finalement plus un film sur le monde punk que sur leur rôle de père qui est assez secondaire au final.

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

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.

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.
