Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Occasionally engaging, Ride suffers from being desperate to please, overwrought and overwritten with sitcom-style shenanigans backed up by a goofily chirpy score.

As an instructional movie on the sport, "Ride" offers some useful tips, but beyond that, it feels like a slightly bizarre vanity project.

rotten:
This is suitably engaging coming-of-middle-age material, but at nearly every turn, Hunt shines in one discipline while leaving much to be desired in another.

Hunt is past the breakers and alone on her own wave; as a filmmaker, she's lost sight of the shore.

As a screenwriter, [Hunt] can be a bit obvious: It's the kind of film in which the son addresses his mother by her first name.
