Set in the world of big wave surfing with some of the most incredible footage of the sport ever filmed, Chasing Mavericks is really a movie about relationships. Father/son certainly, but also how that particular "father-son" combo impacts the lives of the other people around them as well. It packs an emotional wallop. Even knowing the inevitable outcome, I was moved. I don't get the cliche argument used by most critics. Is it cliche if it's true? The cast is all around good. Butler is fantastic as Frosty. Jonny Weston is terrific as wide-eyed, open-hearted Jay.
