In real life, Billie Joe Armstrong is the frontman of Green Day, one of the biggest punk bands in music history, and a Grammy-winning musician, but in Ordinary World, his first starring role, he's anything but. He plays a failed rock star whose best days are over. A film about a father who cannot grow up and find himself in the role of a father, directed by Lee Kirk.
Ordinary World is the story of Perry, to a former punk rocker, and today to a father with a full-time job, who does not find himself in the family role and in general in the world of adulthood, and who desperately wants to drum together with his former band, which he disbanded ten years ago in order to devote himself to his family. He plays it frontman by Green Day, Billie Joe Armstrong.
The film opens on the day Perry turns one 40 years, but so the wife (Selma Blair) as his daughter (Madisyn Shipman) forget about him. So his brother took pity on him (Chris Messina), who gives him money to organize a crazy birthday party in a prestigious New York hotel. What can go wrong?
