The inspirational true story of real life surfing phenomenon Jay Moriarity. 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 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.
Leave your thoughts about Chasing Mavericks.
| OregonianMike RussellNever quite manages to feel like more than a surface-scraping, by-the-numbers sports flick. |
| Spectrum (St. George, Utah)Bruce BennettAlmost redeemed by a thrilling final 15 minutes; at its best during watery action scenes while avoiding the trappings of a shallow, clichéd script. |
| San Jose Mercury NewsMark Conley"Chasing Mavericks" ... trained its glossy, big-budget Hollywood lens on the surfing culture and did something unheard of: It got it right. |
| AV ClubKeith PhippsIt doesn't help that the characters have so little to them. Weston plays Moriarty as such an unfailingly good, temptation-free kid that he only needs a halo floating above his pre-Raphaelite curls to complete the picture. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChasing Mavericks is made with more care and intelligence than many another film starting with its template might have been. It's better than most movies targeted at teens. And the cinematography of the big Mavericks scene by Oliver Euclid and Bill Pope is so frightening that you sort of understand why Frosty stays on the shore, watching Jay with binoculars. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekTypically kind-hearted but mawkish tale...formulaically inspiring fare. |
| RedEyeMatt PaisJay's hard work and persistence ... is inspiring. This kid's attitude is contagious. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazetteDan LybargerIf Chasing Mavericks is short in the originality department, at least directors Curtis Hanson (L.A. Confidential) and Michael Apted (Coal Miner's Daughter) know how to make the film seem believable. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Cliffordso overstuffed with life altering events some of them drift off into the ether. What [it] does phenomenally well, however, is capture the the immense power of the ocean and the strength and wits necessary to attempt to scale its biggest waves. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongNever really [delivers] the sun-in-your-face, salt-in-your-hair, sandy-cocky thrill of surfing or surf culture. |
