Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

This is a heck of a film. Fans and non-fans alike will love every minute. It evokes a lot of emotion. Often you will laugh, and maybe even cry. It's a great look inside the struggles of being a band, touring 24/7, and living life on the road. This movie doubles as a surfing film, which means it also provides a fantastic look at some of the best surf spots on the planet, as surfing is a staple of the band members lives. The ocean is where they go to "press the reset button", relieve stress and get amped for whatever lies ahead.Visually, this movie is stunning. It's a treat for the eyes and ears. The band scores the film themselves and gives you sneak peaks throughout of their upcoming album (Jan. 14, 2014) also titled Fading West. Whether you are a fan or not, this movie is worth checking out. This film is a great example of the consistent output of quality content Switchfoot has been giving their fans for the past 15 years. And from the looks of it, they won't be stopping anytime soon.

Got to see this movie premier in a tiny surfing town on the east coast of Florida, along with a crowd filled with young surfing enthusiasts. I can barely stand on land based boards, and yet this film left me with the inexplicable desire to pick up a board and hit the waves. As a film, camera work was done with a mixture of mediums, all of which blended together quite interestingly. Seeing this very inspiring band continue their journey as artists was of course a treat, and I'd highly recommend catching a showing of it if you can.Fading West is a film filled with just the right amount of highs and lows,and these guys balance wave shredding with moments of raw vulnerability seldom witnessed in the rock scene. It's a film that very well reflects it's makers, showing a self assurance and clear sense of purpose and place that culminates in a highly satisfying viewing experience.
