When 15 year old Jay discovers that the mythic Mavericks surf break, one of the biggest waves on Earth, is not only real, but exists just miles from his Santa Cruz home, he enlists the help of local legend Frosty Hesson (played by Gerard Butler) to train him to survive it. As Jay and Frosty embark on their quest to accomplish the impossible, they form a unique friendship that transforms both their lives, and their quest to tame Mavericks becomes about far more than surfing.

Review For Chasing Mavericks
Floating atop the explosive breakers, like an overabundance of phytoplankton, is a roiling colony of clichés that stops at nothing to dominate the screenplay. Casey Burchby-Village Voice It's a perfect fortune cookie of a movie, full of bland life lessons for everybody; would that there were some drama or style in it somewhere along the way. Bilge Ebiri-New York Magazine For Hanson and Apted, this is a rather inconsequential effort. James Berardinelli-ReelViews The heart-pounding surfing scenes are epic but the script can barely keep its head above the waves in the dramatized biopic Chasing Mavericks. Linda Barnard-Toronto Star When every frayed plot device you've predicted makes its inevitable appearance, at least you'll have the majestic waves off the California coastline to comfort you. Michael Posner-Globe and Mail Never really [delivers] the sun-in-your-face, salt-in-your-hair, sandy-cocky thrill of surfing or surf culture. Tom Long-Detroit News It's always odd walking away from an average film, realizing there are plenty of flaws, and still kind of liking it. That's the case with 'Chasing Mavericks.' Jeff Bayer-The Scorecard Review Almost redeemed by a thrilling final 15 minutes; at its best during watery action scenes while avoiding the trappings of a shallow, clichéd script. Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah) Visually it captures the combination of grace and excitement in the water, but the film drowns amid a sea of coming-of-age cliches. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com Ultra-poetic, mucho exciting, crazy-realistic surf legend. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express For the real Mavericks, stick with Stacy Peralta's documentary Riding Giants. Ann Lewinson-Boston Phoenix Chasing Mavericks has an engaging story that is capably acted on land, and only gets more thrilling once it decides to get wet chasing mavericks. Mark Ellis-Schmoes Know Could be called the son of "Soul Surfer" as both movies appeal to the same audience. Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com An unhappy reminder of the creative wipeout Curtis Hanson's career has unexpectedly become. Rick Kisonak-Film Threat Chasing Mavericks offers some spectacular cinematic imitation of the surfing experience, but fills that mold with paint-by-numbers plot beats and characters. Sandy Schaefer-ScreenRant Bland and uninspiring, it narrowly avoids a wipeout. Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate ...an almost epically unwatchable drama that stands as an obvious low point in the careers of both Apted and Hanson. David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews Inspiring story about teen surfer has some sad moments. Sandie Angulo Chen-Common Sense Media Like most amateur surfers, Hanson and Apted get off to a shaky start in Chasing Mavericks; but once they find their balance, they ride the incredible wave of Moriarity's uplifting tale with the sure footing of the seasoned pros they truly are. Jason Buchanan-TV Guide's Movie Guide A pretty good sports tale yet the human element is just barely there. Kirk Honeycutt-honeycuttshollywood.com The inspirational part becomes a letdown in the finale (when the movie tells us, as gently as possible, about Moriarity's life after Mavericks), but Moriarity's good-natured determination shines through. Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune It might not be a complete wipeout, but it's far away from hanging ten in any sort of awesome way. (Full Content Review for Parents also available) Jim Judy-Screen It! Chasing Mavericks is one of those easily digestible, quickly forgettable movies that neither offends nor inspires. Mathew DeKinder-St. Louis Post-Dispatch A coming-of-age story which should end with the young boy becoming a young man. Unfortunately, fate had other ideas. As the old saying goes, God writes lousy theater. Daniel M. Kimmel-New England Movies Weekly
