American Idiot documentary Broadway Idiot is currently available on demand and in select movie theater showings around the country and the director of the Broadway show itself will speak about his experiences in bringing Green Day's memorable rock musical to the stage - and, now, to the screen via this revealing new doc - on Monday as part of a special screening of the film.

Getting a Broadway show up and running is a journey often fraught with drama, hurt feelings and failure. Happy endings are rare and best appreciated if we know the struggle, revisions, hard work and tough casting and re-casting decisions it took to achieve success.
Much of that is missing from "Broadway Idiot," a tuneful but extremely superficial slice of cinematic triumphalism celebrating the conversion of Green Day's 2004 concept album, "American Idiot," into a stage musical that ran for 422 performances at Broadway's St. James Theatre. Producers had to update a Bush-era screed about suburban angst and post-9/11 American ennui into something that felt fresh in 2009-10.
Though we're treated to some wonderful moments and we develop a pretty thorough understanding of the back story on the songs and the era that spawned this angry, defiant, anarchic song cycle, there's never a discouraging word uttered in "Broadway Idiot's" 80 minutes.

As the studio box office continued to soar thanks to intelligent, Oscar-favored fare like "Gravity" (down just 21% in weekend two) and "Captain Phillips" (Tom Hanks' best opening in a half-decade), for once the smart options weren't necessarily at the art house. Which is perhaps felt in the fact that of the 8 new titles opening in limited release, not one scored a per-theater-average of over $8,000 (which both "Gravity" and "Phillips" did on over 3,000 screens). Of the newbies, the best per-theater-average came care of Roger Ross Williams' acclaimed doc "God Loves Uganda," which managed $7,300 from a single theater for distributor Variance Films. Green Day doc "Broadway Idiot" and one of James Franco's many 2013 directorial efforts "As I Lay Dying" weren't far behind, taking in $6,496 and $6,001, respectively from single theater engagements. While varying degrees of respectable, none are particularly impressive numbers. A few other releases went much wider in their debuts,...

Doug Hamilton thought he would be making a documentary about the clashing worlds of musical theater and punk, but he ended up with a movie about how a rock star found a community through theater. “Broadway Idiot,” in theaters and on-demand on October 11, follows the journey of the musical “American Idiot” from rehearsals to opening night on Broadway, with stops at Berkeley Repertory Theatre and the Grammys. The documentary culminates with Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong performing the role of St. Jimmy on Broadway. Hamilton had known Michael Mayer, director of “American Idiot,” for years and took still photography of “Spring Awakening,” which Mayer also directed. But by the time “Spring Awakening” became the phenomenon that it became, it was too late to start a film. With “American Idiot,” Mayer wanted to document the process from the beginning, even if it might never become a publicly released film. At...

Last summer, we learned that two new documentaries following the rock band Green Day were in the works, with one aiming for a release at Sundance in 2013. However, that didn't come to fruition, and neither of the documentaries have been heard from since. But a different doc featuring Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong as he attempts to turn the band's album American Idiot into a Broadway musical (which could also hit the big screen) is arriving this week on iTunes and limited theaters. For fans of the band and the musical, Broadway Idiot looks like a great look behind the curtain, literally and figuratively. Watch! Here's the trailer for Doug Hamilton's Broadway Idiot, originally from Apple: Broadway Idiot follows Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong as he works with Broadway veterans to turn his hit album, American Idiot, into a Broadway musical. The film shows the creative choices...

Title: Broadway Idiot Director: Doug Hamilton An ambitious, hook-laden work of both considerable anger and pain (“And there’s nothing wrong with me/This is how I’m supposed to be/In a land of make believe/That don’t believe in me”), punk outfit Green Day’s seventh studio album, rock opera “American Idiot,” arrived with a boom in the fall of 2004 — a survey of social anxiousness and a scathing rebuke to the Bush Administration’s frittering away of post-9/11 international goodwill. A critically embraced masterwork, it was also a commercial smash, going on to sell more than 15 million copies worldwide, and six million-plus in the United States alone. Still, despite both its success [ Read More ]

If you’re seething with unreleased rage and only know three guitar chords, there are a ton of options for you at theaters this week. From the boys finally loving Mandy Lane to Machete continuing his fight against good taste (which must have done something terrible to his family), and from Captain Phillips fighting back against pirates to William Faulkner rising from the grave to strangle James Franco, there are an unhealthy amount of victimized people taking up arms against a sea of bullies. Naturally, vengeful ghosts and an evil Disneyland come into play as well. On the punk rock side, there’s Green Day battling Broadway and a poorly-lip-synced attempt at telling the story of an iconic haunt that never played bluegrass music. There’s also a lot more going on in a week with a massive amount of movies. Here’s your trailer-ized guide to what’s coming out: The Major Stuff Captain Phillips Read...

Broadway Idiot is less a documentary than a video souvenir playbill. Apparently intended only for audiences who caught American Idiot, Green Day's Tony-nominated musical, during its yearlong run at the St. James Theatre, the film surveys the gestation, life, and death of the pop-punk opera without ever explaining the show's story. It's hard not to feel cynical about Broadway Idiot: It's a documentary celebrating a musical based on an album, probably made to maintain "awareness" for the inevitable movie adaptation of the play. (Tom Hanks has already optioned the film rights.) Broadway does nothing to dispel that cynicism. It contains more praise than insights, and, chopped into several sections, the documentary could easily become a series of feature...

Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong showed no signs of alcoholism and prescription drug addiction while making his Broadway debut performing in American Idiot in 2011, according to one of the musical's producers. In fact, the punk rocker, who returned to the stage Friday night in Austin at SXSW after a public meltdown in Las Vegas and a stint in rehab, was a mentor, father figure and even a softball teammate while performing to rave reviews in the critically acclaimed musical.

Austin, Texas — Green Day isn't talking about the recent rocky past, but they're playing like the old days.
An upbeat Billie Joe Armstrong whipped the Grammy-winning punk trio through an ear-splitting two-hour show Friday night at the South by Southwest Music Festival, returning to the stage for only the second time since Armstrong emerged from a rehab stint that caused the band to postpone an arena tour.
The 41-year-old Armstrong made no mention of his problems with substance abuse while playfully bantering with a nearly sold-out crowd Moody Theater and ripping through a 25-song marathon. The energetic set mixed new rockers from the "Uno!" "Dos!" "Tre!" trilogy the band rolled out last winter and old favorites like "Longview" and "American Idiot."

Perhaps the biggest standing ovation given by Paramount Theater audiences all week at SXSW was when Green Day took the stage Friday alongside director Doug Hamilton to present the world premiere of the documentary Broadway Idiot. Bassist Mike Dirnt did the talking for the group, thanking the audience for coming to the show. “Welcome to our nightmare,” he said happily, before handing off the microphone to lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong. The crowd held their breath for a half second, waiting to hear him speak, but instead he tossed the mic to a festival director and the band made themselves scarce.

Not since Pete Townshend took an active hand in shaping The Who’s Tommy in 1993 has a rock musician infiltrated the ranks of Broadway with such exhilarating results as American Idiot.

Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong addresses his alcohol and prescription drug abuse (and subsequent trip to rehab) in an exclusive interview with Rolling Stone, on newsstands (and online) this Friday. "I couldn't predict where I was going to end up at the end of the night," he tells Rolling Stone's David Fricke. "I'd wake up in a strange house on a couch. I wouldn't remember how. It was a complete blackout."
