Once in a punk, rock band - all of a sudden married, with house and kids. What the hell happened?This is exactly the theme of this easy going movie about a man hitting a midlife crisis as he is about to turn 40. The fine thing about this movie is that it unfolds in its own pace which in fact makes it very realistic and believeable.In the lead roles you find Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day who makes a fine performance as a mittle age father facing the cruel realities of living in a "ordinary world". Joe Armstrong clearly reveales his talent as an actor. Also Selma Blair playing his wife Karen and Madisyn Shipman who plays their oldest daugther does really fine performances.A fine movie about growing older, how to be parrents and last but not least finding out about the things that truely matters to us all.
... View MoreOrdinary World is an awful mid life crisis film starring Billie Joe Armstrong, lead singer of the band Green Day.Armstrong plays Perry Miller who in 1995 was the singer in a popular punk band. Fast forward 20 years he now works in the family hardware store which his younger brother manages, he is married with two young children and feels life is passing him by as he approaches his 40th birthday.Perry checks into a hotel to throw a birthday party with his old band mates and hopes it could reignite some passion in himself.The trouble with this film is that it has a half baked script that really goes nowhere. Perry has a hotel room, he can have a great party with his old band mates with booze and girls but he walks out instead to let his in-laws into his house.In fact the stupidest scenes are Perry actually going into the hotel, asking to see the Presidential suite and then asking the clerk how much the room costs. This guy has never heard of Expedia. Once he decides to throw a party he has not considered about getting booze and food, then worries that people might order room service and the cost of it all.It really is an inept and boring film.

Will we have it? is this it? these are the questions that this movie wakes up in you. i'm a green Day fan, i think it wasn't the best acting but its a real rockstar who plays a rock star. and that makes the real life experience realistic. that's why when you watch the movie you make these questions. for every person who like's a drama movie this one will pass your time.
... View MoreThe mid-life crisis of a husband and father who, on his 40th birthday, decides to revisit his punk-rock past by throwing an extravagant party in the presidential suite of the Drake Hotel - where he encounters his beautiful ex-girlfriend and former bandmates who have since moved on to bigger and better things. My problem with Ordinary World is basically the story, the script and my god the dialogue who wrote this? a 5 year- old? Also Billie Joe Armstrong wasn't that bad but he wasn't great either it's just that the film is very weird and mediocre and doesn't know what it wants to be honestly and i'm going to give it an 4.0 out of 10.
