Summary: soulful, sometimes funny, and completely mesmerizing
Review: i'd rather watch it than talk about it.....one of the few films i could watch over and over again. seamless and beautifully shot from beginning to end with music that provides the mindset for every wave.

Summary: Don't need to be a surfer
Review: I've never surfed before, but I do enjoy Jack's music. I must say that this is a very relaxing film, with nice footage. I reccomend the product to ALL JJ fans, not only surfers. Songs flowed nicely. JJ fans must buy!

Summary: one of the best
Review: jack johnson and the malloy bros. put together one of the most soulful surf films ever made in modern times with "thicker than water." it's not mtv and it's not punk - it's as smooth and mellow as the surfers who star in it - also check out "singlefin: yellow" for a similar feel, great music but more in depth story structure - both are classic must have surf dvd's.

Summary: Life imitating art
Review: The first thing that caught my attention with this video was the music. First and foremost it's a surf video, but there's more going on than just some guys showing off with their moves. Unlike what you might see on Bluetorch or 54321, this video offers a different perspective, and it sets the mood with an awsome original score. This is no less than a work of art. Through the surfing you get an expression which comes from a passion for life not just the sport itself, it's also in some ways a glimpse into the creative process of a musician. If you listen to Jack Johnson's "On and On", then watch this film you can see where the inspiration came from. A lot of the lyrics relate to some of the imagery which was selected. This film has definatly given me newfound respect for that these guys do, and I can't really express how good "thicker than water" is. It's actually very tranquil. It's a must have for any surfer, and I reccomend it for anyone who is big into music or is a musician themselves [and I think all other artists can probably walk away from this video with something too]. Also, since the video just looks so damned good I would reccomend it for budding cinimatographers as well.

Summary: Eye Candy
Review: The footage in this flick is great. The music sucks. It's mostly bluesy un-plugged funk and slide guitar rambling and wanking throughout. The actual surfing is much more aggressive than the music in the background. It's more of an annoying distraction than anything else. People who bought the soundtrack to this flick also bought CD's by Norah Jones, so that probably explains it. It's like the whole thing is in slow motion. What a drag. Turn off the sound and play your own music.

Summary: Better than a sleeping pill
Review: There are so many better surf films out there than this. I love surfing but this film just left me cold. If your idea of a great surf movie is 45 minutes of different bits of surfing footage without any storyline accompanied by a wholly uninspiring and unsympathetic soundtrack, then check this film out.Some of the waves surfed in this film are dramatic; I am pretty sure one of them is Teahupoo in Tahiti, a wave to equal almost any in the world in ferocity and the drastic consequences of a wipeout on it. Unfortunately there is no indication either in the film or in the credits where any of the footage was shot, which is a shame and also an unneccessary omission. But please, surfing is an adrenaline sport and whilst, with the exception of the (maybe) Teahupoo footage, the waves surfed in this movie are not particularly big, this movie fails to capture any of the dynamism and excitement that is an integral part of surfing. This is despite the fact that many of the world's best surfers feature in it! Because there is no storyline or dialogue, the soundtrack dominates the aural part of the experience and the soundtrack is just awful. It is soporific mush. What you experience with your ears is completely at odds with what you see with your eyes. There is no synergy between the two whatsoever. If you are desperate to add to your surf movie collection, then this one is watchable, just. If you want to be more selective, then any of the Endless Summer trilogy or Billabong Odyssey would be a far better choice. And if you only want to buy one surf movie, then it has to be Step Into Liquid, which is a million miles better than this one. In fact, if you want to buy ten surf movies, buy one copy of Step Into Liquid and watch it ten times!
