A Brokedown Melody

I live in Kansas and I work out to this DVD several times a week - a wonderful vicarious vacation!! The length is perfect, the soundtrack and extra segments are perfect, and I want "The Road" segment played at my funeral. It's a perfect summation of surfing and life in general. If you enjoy surfing DVDs and have not seen this, it's a no-brainer - order it!!

as a surfer, i have seen quite a few surfing DVD's. this is one of the better ones because of the music and the amount of good surfing that it expands upon. nice to see surfers having fun no matter the size of the wave and nice to see surfers from all over the world, of all ages. anything with jack johnson involved is going to be super laid-back and this does not dissapoint.

THIS IS A GREAT FILM FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS. EXCELLENT RADICAL SURFING BUT A COHERENT STORY LINE AND REAL EXAMPLES OF HUMAN INTERACTION BASED ON GOOD WILL AND FUN. REAL WARMTH. fILMIMG IS VERY HIGH QUALITY AND MUSIC IS WONDERFUL A REAL EVENINGS ENJOYMENT. BEST SURF FILM IN YEARS

This is a super chill surfing video. Great for hanging out with a few buddies, drinking some margaritas and staying in for the night. The cinematography is excellent. The film contains beautiful imagery. Great for slowly stoking your surfing fire.

this film is great. the video shots and waves are awesome, a lot of tropical places. really laid back soundtrack and feel to it. if you like thicker than water or september sessions then this one is a must see.

I heard a song on this and thought I was buying a music cd but this is a long dvd of surfer dudes -not what i was expecting - it maybe good but Iam not the kind of guy who sits around watching tv surfing i would rather actively surf on the tv.

this was a good addition to my surf library. It's worth a watch, don't forget the popcorn.Capt. A. Belshe

So disappointed in Amazon. Received this DVD only to find that it is not formatted to watch on a traditional DVD player. What a waste!

very interesting.

Jack Johnson ist für mich kein unbeschriebenes Blatt. Ich habe die Alben und hab ihn auch schon live erleben dürfen.Nun wollte ich mir auch endlich mal einen Film von ihm anschauen.Man ist sich beim Kauf der DVD schon bewusst um was es geht. Nicht nur um das Surfen an sich, sondern auch die Lebenseinstellung. Die Geschichten der Surfer sind einfach schön anzuhören.Nicht zuletzt machen die traumhaften Aufnahmen das Ganze zu einem einzigartigen Erlebnis.Es ist schön anzusehen, wie es gehen kann, wenn man mal alles abwirft und einfach... lebt!Zum musikalischen bleibt zu sagen, wenig neues von Jack Johnson selbst, aber er hat wieder großartige (neue) Künstler mit ins Boot geholt. Die Extra videos von z.B. ben harper sind auch vergleichbar mit ihm und laden zum träumen ein.Ich finde es ist die ideale DVD um einfach mal abzuschalten, für eine knappe Stunde, die Sorgen hinter sich zu lassen, zum träumen oder auch sich im Winter mal warme Gedanken zu machen.Mir bleibt zu sagen: Ich bin begeistert und kann's nur empfehlen!

Bought as region 2 and that's what it said on the packaging. But the disk wouldn't play on three different machines. It did play when I put it in a drive set for region 1 - so it wasn't faulty, just wrongly packaged. I sent it back for a refund and got the usual good response from Amazon.

If you want to sit back and relax this is the perfect thing to watch! you have to admire the attitudes of the people in the film and their love of the world around them! the extra footage is well worth a watch too, its just more of what this great movie is all about! ....good legnth of footage too. money well spent in my eyes.

Interesting mosaic of surf footage. Not riveting or super-exciting stuff but atmospheric, a bit retro and worth watching. Buy it second hand.
