'The Other F Word' hits movie theaters today

The hilarious and heartfelt new documentary “The Other F Word” hits theaters today in New York at the Film Forum and in LA this Friday at Nuart Theater. It will then screen in cities across the US during November and December. Click here to watch an exclusive clip from the film at the New York Times’ website. Pennywise frontman Jim Lindberg, one of the main subjects of the film, also recently made a live, on-air appearance on CNN to discuss the documentary.

What happens when a generations ultimate anti-authoritarians – punk rockers – become society’s ultimate authorities – dads? “The Other F Word”is the revealing, funny, and touching film that tackles this question. With a large chorus of punk rock’s leading men, including Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Flea, and Rise Against’s Tim McIlrath– the documentary follows Jim Lindberg, a 20-year veteran of the skate punk band Pennywise, on his hysterical and moving journey from belting his band’s anthem “F—k Authority,” to embracing his ultimately authoritarian role in mid-life: fatherhood.

Other dads featured in the film, which was Executive Produced by Morgan Spurlock & Jeremy Chilnick, include Art Alexakis (Everclear), Mark Mothersbaugh (Devo), Tony Adolescent (The Adolescents), Fat Mike (NOFX), Lars Frederiksen (Rancid), skater Tony Hawk, and many others.
