Great MovieThe critics don’t get it, It’s phenomenal. If I was to change one thing it would be to incorporate faith in God in the message. It’s got that one missing piece; the question that’s never answered, and they sort of hint at Him by saying “I was put here on this Earth for this purpose”, but the never specify who put him here. Also Frosty has a skeptical perspective in terms of Faith and that couple also have been used to tie in the Faith based message. Love the film, though. Matthew 3:2🙏.Score: 5/5

Great storyWhy the critics gave a bad rating for "Chasing Mavericks"? Critics sit around on their bums and watch movies. I can only guess that these critics have never surfed (or done anything else outdoors). Anyway… if you like a good story, enjoy fantastic footage of monster waves and great surfing, and can appreciate a movie that doesn't glorify random acts of sex, violence and self-aggrandizement, then you might, like totally, enjoy this movie. Our culture is so weirded-out, many movie-goers may find it hard to appreciate a movie about friendship, solid values, and finding joy in simple pleasures. If you've bought into American pop culture, then you'll hate this movie (like the critics). The irony of this movie is that the once counter-culture surfing community portrayed in this movie, is now offering a traditional, conservative American message to our currently whacked-out culture. That message? Watch it. Based on current movie-trends, I think you'll find it's a maverick of a message..Score: 5/5

Loved It!!!Fantastic movie, loved every bit of it.
