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.

What follows is a standard-issue road movie in which the boys get into all sorts of adventures, many of which have been depicted in better movies. Go to Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media Sep 8, 2026
3/5
This likable road trip story is more pop than punk rock, following all the old familiar beats the way it does, but it has fun energy, scrappy vibes, and a great soundtrack. Go to Full Review Nicolás Medina Montevideo Portal / Latido Beat Aug 27, 2026
6/10
It's not a great punk movie, nor a great coming-of-age...But it has good songs, three main characters who are hard not to like, and a genuine connection to what it's celebrating. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Bill Arceneaux Moviegoing with Bill Aug 27, 2026
