In all candor, the same can be said of the turns turned in by the flick's supporting stable of actors, which includes a trio of highly capable pros in Selma Blair, Chris Messina and Fred Armisen. To the point where Armstrong's underplaying of his understated character never managed to amplify and fully engage me. However, he proves to be just a little TOO passive in this role.
Now granted, Armstrong's Perry is of decidedly docile demeanor, having ostensibly fallen into the mostly uneventful life he now leads. Writer/Director Lee Kirk thrusts it completely upon Armstrong to carry his movie, as the brilliant musician performs in practically every single one of it's scenes. While the hard driving original music Armstrong contributes is fantastic, particularly the amped-up onslaught that mule kick starts the story, the superlatives for this largely lukewarm effort pretty much start and end there. When presented with the opportunity to celebrate his 40th birthday in grand style he does it up right in a posh New York City hotel suite, together with his ex band-mates and a pack of party animals he's heretofore never met. Ordinary World - the first starring role for Green Days Billie Joe Armstrong - may feature a conventional story, but it counters that with tons of heart and. This cat is a fish flung FAR out of water as domesticated husband, father and feckless hardware store sales guy. Armstrong originally wrote this ballad for the comedy-drama movie.

Im a big fan of the band, and its lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong stars in an upcoming film called Ordinary World.I had no idea this movie was a thing until I came across this trailer and it actually looks pretty good. Songfacts: Green Day close their Revolution Radio record with this acoustic-guitar ballad. The comedy stars Green Day front-man Billie Joe Armstrong as Perry, a just turned middle-aged singer/guitarist on indefinite hiatus from his once-promising rock group. Green Day was one of the bands that helped get me through my high school years. Filming began late 2014 in New York City. The film stars Billie Joe Armstrong in his first leading role, as well as Judy Greer, Selma Blair, Dallas Roberts, Chris Messina, Fred Armisen, Brian Baumgartner, and Kevin Corrigan. I really wanted to like "Ordinary World". Ordinary World is a 2016 American comedy film written and directed by Lee Kirk.
