GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
tng4980 Purely from a visual standpoint this Doc is inspiring and loaded with singer-songwriter tunes from artists such as M. Ward, Mason Jennings, and Ugly Casanova which compliment the imagery. This film is raw and if you are a fan of over-produced special effects such as the one star reviewer then don't watch it. 180 Degrees echos other films such as Shelter and Sprout in the sense of adventure, inspiration, and solitude. I have been surfing for 25 years and have recently taken up rock climbing thanks to this film, truly inspiring. I would recommend any film which involves the Malloy brothers. I have been watching the Malloy's since I was a kid and they have given so much to surfing and remain the greatest ambassadors to the sport.
msmollymac This is the type of film that makes you want to get out and explore the world around us. I admire Jeff Johnson's spirit and dedication to his childhood dreams. This movie makes me wonder what our world might be like if we all gave in to our innermost desires of leaving our repetitive lives and as Jeff put it in the movie, letting our futures remain unwritten. This movie will take you off of your couch and deep into Patagonia. If you're anything like me it will leave you searching for the soundtrack to keep you inspired as you begin to plan for an unplanned trip you've pined for your entire life but always found a sensible reason to remain unhappy at your 9-5.
zach-949-678127 I am a big fan of these men's (and women's) motto and lifestyle. They have an excellent message that many people can learn from. Yvon has some great quotes and its so awesome to see him charge at age 69.Yvon and Doug have such humility for all that they have done; its too bad there aren't more people like them.Jeff Johnson gets an awesome trip and adventure on tape and a inspiring message to share with the world. This movie makes me think seriously about a 6 month break from work to travel to Patagonia. Love it
ryand8985 The film is definitely worth watching, but make sure you keep an open mind, especially during the narrator's factually incorrect account of the destruction of Rapa Nui/Easter Island. He blames Europeans for the toppling of the Moai, when in fact historians believe it was actually internal conflict on the island that destroyed them. I will admit that I am not without progressive bias myself sometimes, but it disappoints me to see blatant disregard for true accounts of history (perhaps the researchers used Wikipedia?) in a documentary. With that said, I do believe this film has a great message and is very informative and entertaining. So yes, it is worth your time, and I recommend you definitely watch it.
