Leave your thoughts about Ordinary World.
| Seattle TimesTom KeoghThe film distinguishes itself by what it lacks: simple, unrealistic answers to Perry’s regrets and the hole in his soul. His path to authenticity might not lead back to glory days, but contentment is closer than he thinks. |
| New York TimesNeil GenzlingerBillie Joe Armstrong of Green Day is usually pretty appealing when he dabbles in acting, and he’s appealing again in Ordinary World. But after a promising start the script lets him down, and the film turns into a predictable midlife-crisis yarn. |
| We Got This CoveredRobert Yaniz, Jr.Although Ordinary World hits a number of familiar story beats, a real heart appears to be beating behind the material, allowing Armstrong and his castmates to maximize the emotional impact it has. |
| The Young FolksDonald StrohmanAside from a great leading performance by Billie Joe Armstrong, Ordinary World is a bit of a jumbled mess that adds up to a mostly average watch. |
| NerdistDerrick RossignolOrdinary World is worth a play for curious parties, but it deviates from Green Day's finest work in that you'll probably only want to experience it once. |
| Village VoiceMichael NordineArmstrong, who's mostly played himself in previous forays into acting, has a low-key charm suggesting that, if he desired it, he could get more onscreen gigs in between albums. |
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshUnfortunately, the cast and a few sweet tunes by Armstrong are the only things going for this delayed coming-of-age dramedy. |
| FanboyNation.comSean MulvihillOrdinary 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. |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyUnless you're trying to recreate some sort of updated, role-swapped kid show - a sitcom without a sensibility, but a guaranteed group-hug at the end - "Ordinary World" is a pretty extraordinary failure. |
| Film InquiryAlistair RyderOrdinary World is charming in spite of its sheer predictability. |
