What the Critics say | ||
Die Burger Rozanne Els | 10 | |
Box Office Amy Nicholson This feel-good froth is distinguished from a TV movie only by the continual, expensive, pounding, astounding shots of surfers surviving McMansion-sized crests that threaten to tumble down and thrust them 40 feet into the deep. | 5 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs Chasing Mavericks might not be a complete wipeout, but it's far away from hanging ten in any sort of awesome way. | 8 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer It's sweet, gentle, and affably modest, but Chasing Mavericks is ultimately pulled under by an unconvincing script and a puzzling lack of energy. | 7 | |
