Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Floating atop the explosive breakers, like an overabundance of phytoplankton, is a roiling colony of cliches that stops at nothing to dominate the screenplay.

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.

For Hanson and Apted, this is a rather inconsequential effort.

The heart-pounding surfing scenes are epic but the script can barely keep its head above the waves in the dramatized biopic Chasing Mavericks.

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.
