ROGER EBERT: "While that premise might tease ‘Nimrods’ as a kind of comedy that punches down at its clueless subjects, the film thankfully doesn’t stoop to those levels. Instead, it genuinely understands what it means to have a dream so near you that you’re willing to do anything to make it happen." by Robert Daniels
And it’s not just the reviews. The amount of coverage NIMRODS and Green Day are getting right now is kind of incredible.
