The 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. Read full review

Ordinary World becomes raggedly enjoyable thanks to the unexpected charms of its leading man. Read full review

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. Read full review

Armstrong, 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. Read full review

Unfortunately, the cast and a few sweet tunes by Armstrong are the only things going for this delayed coming-of-age dramedy. Read full review

Billie 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. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Oct 11, 2016

Writer-director Lee Kirk’s script manages a few laugh-out-loud lines and moments, and Armstrong has an offhanded charm that plays well in a role tailor-made for him. But Ordinary World is a little too enamored of the phrase “Truth in advertising.” It’s run of the mill, humdrum, “ordinary” in its set up. Read full review

We always ask for something new. Not to repeat the same old story with different cast. After avoiding the so called major clichés, this is how a film looks like. I'm not saying it is a fresh story, but a refreshed minor league film. It is a decentA struggling ex musician on his birthday.

We always ask for something new. Not to repeat the same old story with different cast. After avoiding the so called major clichés, this is how a film looks like. I'm not saying it is a fresh story, but a refreshed minor league film. It is a decent comedy-drama and much better than many mainstream films from these days. So I enjoyed watching it.

I don't know who is this guy in the lead, but came to know he's a musician who played one this film as well. At first I thought it was Aaron Paul, then his brother, though, he was good in the role. The rest of the casting was good as well. It is a one day tale, that follows on the birthday of a married ex musician struggling with his life.

I think I liked the narrative, but too simple. Anyway, it ended so well. It was a much better film than the others saying. It could not be as good as I'm saying to you, but definitely not a bad flick. That's what you have to understand if you are not sure about giving it a try. I would surely suggest it for the people with low expectation, but not a must see film.
