Chasing Mavericks Reviews

Movie Reviews

• ultimately the story of Jay Moriarity, who died tragically in a diving accident at 22, is a moving one, and he deserved a better tribute than this film

  by Claudia Puig [USA Today ]

• this is less effective as a bio-pic of Jay Moriarty than it is as a big screen National Geographic Special

  by James Berardinelli [ReelViews ]

• promised more than a formulaic narrative that would paddle a flat story toward climactic big waves, the moment when a community of awestruck landlubbers line up to gape

  by Kat Murphy [MSN Movies ]

• pretty much "The Karate Kid" goes surfing

  Review rate : C+ by Tom Long [Detroit News ]

• builds, perhaps not exactly like the majestic, 40-foot walls of water that are its subject, but with a satisfying enough - and even somewhat unexpected - crash
