In this unreasonably cute documentary, filmmaker Thomas Balmes charts the early childhood developments--sleeping, eating, crawling, babbling, giggling, and crying--of four newborns-to-toddlers from Mongolia, Namibia, Japan, and California. This isn't rigorous documentary work like the Seven Up! series, and that's the point. No matter where you go, from the richest to the poorest country, babies are simply adorable.

Not "f*ck," but "father." Members of third wave punk bands from the '90s reflect on maturing, raising families, and being authority figures at home, all of which conflicts with their punk pasts, onstage personas, and professional demands. After all, touring half of the year and screaming anthems of rebellion to someone else's kids isn't exactly synonymous with perfect parenthood, but then again, what is? And who doesn't struggle to reconcile their youthful selves with adult responsibilities? Not only is The Other F Word funny and strange, but it's also touching and universal. Featuring members of Pennywise, Rise Against, Bad Religion, Blink-182, Everclear, NoFX, The Vandals, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Devo, as well as Tony Hawk and other middle-aged men wearing Vans.
