Heart Like a Hand Grenade is a 2008 film featuring Green Day during the recording of their popular album, American Idiot. It was directed by John Roecker and filmed over the process of 15 months between 2004 and 2005. Plot While the majority of the film's exact contents are unknown, the main plot of the film consists of the average day-to-day grind the band members, Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tre Cool, experienced while recording their 2004 Grammy award winning album American Idiot. The movie is broken up into sections, with each relating to specific parts of the album. Each section follows the band's creative and production process for a song, often including insight into the writing, the recording of the material, the first rehearsal, and the first performance in front of a crowd at the Henry Fonda Theater on September 16, 2004. Each song on the album is played all the way through within its section, with the exception of Holiday. In addition, each section contains several scenes of the band interacting in the studio and talking about everything from plastic surgery to how to drink responsibly. Release History The movie had a limited, one night release in Hollywood at Grauman's Egyptian Theatre on March 25, 2009 to a crowd of more than 400 people. It has been reported that the movie would be released on DVD but as of 2011, no news has been announced if this is, in fact, true.
