These American Idiots are cruising down the Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
Desperately trying to get to LA because When They Come Around, they’re opening for Green Day. Only there’s not gonna be a 21 Gun salute for em…they’re on a mental Holiday like a Basket Case.
Green Day didn’t call em to Meet Me On The Roof.
The 3 Burnouts are in a band and believe that makes em The Jesus of Suburbia. Only the band Analog Dogs are gonna sing the Panic Song. Sadly, it’s all a Jackass prank!
This might be Redundant but Chad (Ryan Foust), the band’s drummer isn’t a Minority. Chad is a solid Milhouse, Wonder Years Paul etc. A charming dork tradition. While Tommy (Mason Thames) has Restless Heart Syndrome. As the lead singer he struggles to lead. His only instinct is Wow! That’s Loud. Of course he’s dealing with Fred (Kylr Coffman) who is struggling with Brain Stew. As a stoner, Fred should come with a Warning!
Nimrods, now playing is a classic 21st Century Breakdown: cars and friendships and an Extraordinary Girl in this cinematic Longview. But that’s the Tré Cool Dilemma in all road trip movies: Scattered characters say Good Riddance to so much including who they thought they were. While they have (The Time of Their Life).
Outlaws can’t be Jaded when they’re Hitchin‘ A Ride, right?
Holy Toledo! Nirmods is #PantsWorthy: Welcome to Paradise this weekend.
Well, as long as you don’t have Church on Sunday, where ya can’t wear Black Eyeliner anyways.
Nirmods is lots of punktastic fun, it’s the total opposite of Dookie.
(I figured since this isn’t an Ordinary World in this movie I wouldn’t write an “ordinary review.” I hope you’re Still Breathing.)
Nimrods was directed by Lee Kirk and written by Lee Kirk along with Green Day.
Sammy Verdict: You’ll be a Nimrod if you don’t see this movie.
