When Tommy receives a phone call inviting his band to open for Green Day on New Years Eve, he doesn't realize it's an elaborate prank by his older brother, Wayne. Desperate to believe his life is about to change, Tommy steals Wayne's car and begins driving his band from Kansas City to Los Angeles, hell bent on getting there in three days. What follows is a rowdy and uproarious road trip across America, inspired by Green Day's early days of touring in a van, years before the release of their breakout record Dookie.

Laurence Phelan Guardian 3h
3/5
The soundtrack -- about 98 percent of which is by Green Day -- is a bit one-note, but it’s got a lot of bounce. Likewise, the script is unsophisticated but enjoyably performed. Go to Full Review John Nugent Empire Magazine 1d
3/5
Do you have the time, to listen to this film whine, about nothing and everything all at once? If so, you’ll be rewarded with a mostly successful coming-of-age teenage ode to punk. Go to Full Review Ian Freer Time Out 2d
3/5
It doesn’t need a hardcore fan to figure out the film will end with a warm, reflective montage to the still gorgeous ‘Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)’. It’s that kind of movie: obvious but sweet-natured and enjoyable. Go to Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat 2h
3/4
Sweet, funny, and chock full of awesome tunes. Go to Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com 3h
B
"Nimrods" is entertaining enough, getting far on restless energy while Green Day and other artists keep the soundtrack shaking along with hits. Go to Full Review Zach Youngs InSession Film 3h
C
Nimrods is not one of the great coming-of-age films, but it is an enjoyable one, flaws and all. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
