As a giant fan of blink-182 and
somebody inspired to pick up a guitar by DeLonge himself, I was ambivalent to see if he could make a film nowadays with his fringe beliefs and faux one-sided message that "Love wins but screw those people entirely". A viewpoint that's popular nowadays with the constant distraction of UFOs and militant ideologies being shoved down your throat in every direction you look.
As someone who can believe in aliens, believes in God, loves people, I refuse to believe Tom DeLong has anything positive to say without stomping on everybody else. Not everyone believes in nihilism.
The movie is what you would expect: Very poor writing and acting, no direction in story, and preachy. I enjoy toilet humor but it doesn't add to what Tom is so endeared with. I would be on board with him if he wasn't such an iconoclast. His music is very fun, but I'm going to have to separate art from the artist with this one. We already have enough monsters from California.
