Synopsis

What happens when a generation’s ultimate anti-authoritarians — punk rockers — become society’s ultimate authorities — dads? With a large chorus of Punk Rock’s leading men — Blink 182’s Mark Hoppus, Red Hot Chili Pepper’s Flea, Rise Against’s Tim McIlrath — The Other F Word follows Jim Lindberg, 20 year veteran of skate punk band, Pennywise, on his hysterical and moving journey from belting out his band’s anthem, “Fuck Authority”, to embracing his ultimately pivotal authoritarian role in mid-life, fatherhood. –SXSW

Not the best documentary ever made but it was pretty interesting to see these punk rockers bear their souls about raising a family and doing what they have to do to support them by going on the road. Felt that it was kinda strange that Lindberg got most of the screen time though, should have been spread out more. I liked this.

I think there is genuine emotion here, it humanizes these men who rarely are given the time of day. Plus, I felt real nostalgic watching it. It doesn't break new ground, but it's definitely an endearing watch.
