    This movies was a great story about a great man. I'm a fan of Gerald Butler but the kids out showed him. What a beautiful life story!

    Maverick

    by Karon Smith

    I love movies that are based on true stories. This one was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. I was very surprised and cried when 2 of the main characters died. Awesome movie!

    Chasing Mavericks

    by counterisk

    Ok movie, will generate some interest in surfing and big waves, but not much. For the surfers who see the movie, they'll like the premis, but its hollywood and no one will believe any of the stars could get in 2 foot swells none the less maverick size waves. Anyone really interested in watching spectacular big wave surfing should get a copy of real surf movies like "Step into Liquid" and watch legendary Laird Hamilton surf Jaws in Maui or Gerry Lopez surf Banzai Pipeline. Bottom line- ok, nothing to write home about- would never re-watch.

    Surf's Up

    by jjonesindallas

    I went to see this movie for Gerard Butler and I got him and much, much more. I know Butler is the big draw and he nailed his role as surfing mentor, Frosty Hessen. The pleasant surprise for me was newcomer Jonny Weston as surfing legend, Jay Moriarity. The photography was nothing short of spectacular and added to the telling of this amazing story of two people who found themselves in each other. And, yes, I laughed and cried and loved. Great movie!

    A totally wholesome and entertaining film

    by fireunderground

    I too have screened many movies this summer. Some bad, some good, and a few like Chasing Mavericks, "GREAT". If your looking for a lot of phony shoot m up or the unimaginable you may or may not appreciate this film. If you enjoy wholesome entertainment, with some realism, good storyline occasional edge of your seat situations and deep look into humanity, then this is a must see movie. Denny

    Very Inspirational

    by Lfishburne

    First to the Critics: What's up with your reviews? Is there a problem with a film having no blood and gore and being inspirational instead of hateful?

    Second to those who haven't yet seen it: I feel that this movie was very well done and is safe for young children. Overall, a very good movie. The characters are believable, and the scenery is spectacular.
