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.

Linda Marric HeyUGuys 2d
3/5
More than anything, Nimrods captures the same rough-around-the-edges DIY spirit that defined Green Day’s early years. Go to Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times 4d
3.5/5
The script...seldom strays from the familiar rhythms of the coming-of-age road comedy. Lee Kirk, who previously directed Billie Joe in Ordinary World, embraces a broad, episodic formula that delivers a chilled-out comedy with few surprises. Go to Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 20h
Captivating, funny and breezy. A light and nostalgic slice of escapism as well as an uplifting tribute to Green Day. Go to Full Review Carson Timar ButteredPopcorn 1d
Nimrods is a great road trip mixtape. Totally wholesome, the film is a wonderful tribute to friendship, music, and youth. Go to Full Review Chris Wasser Irish Independent 3d
3.5/5
A few storytelling hiccups aside, this is a tuneful and largely irresistible coming-of-age flick, loosely inspired by true tales from the Green Day tour vault. Lifelong Dookie enthusiasts will approve. Go to Full Review Alistair Harkness Scotsman 5d
2/5
It’s a film about finding your tribe and following your dreams, executed with a gooey sweetness that’s a world away not just from the reality of present day America, but also the sharp, hormonally charged comedy of teen movies like Superbad... Go to Full Review Read all reviews
