The Other F Word

It’s easy to show the bad in people: all you have to do it turn on the news any night of the week to see just how bad things can get in the world, particularly in terms of broken families and domestic violence. How fantastic it is, then, to watch a film that celebrates something positive: men who take responsibility for their actions – or the end results of their actions – to be fathers to their children. The fact that the guys in this movie are also punk rockers who spent their youth fighting against everything their parents stood for is icing on the cake. They still make music, and they still take pride in the way they don’t exactly fit in with the other parents on the block, but they have their priorities straight, which is a rear and inspirational thing to see.
