À la poursuite de Mavericks

« Awe-inspiring footage and solid performances help this otherwise flatly formulaic biopic catch an emotional wave. »

« Les images époustouflantes de la mer qui se déchaîne, captées par une caméra aventureuse, ne suffisent pas à balayer les clichés et les archétypes qui meublent ce manuel de croissance personnelle. »

« À la poursuite de Mavericks rentre un peu dans cette catégorie d'archi-prévisible, d'émotions programmées et de larmichette facile. »

« There are plenty of mistakes to be found here, but there are also moments to cheer. There are smiles to be had and a sense of wonder to be appreciated. Whether those positives can just as easily be experienced in the comfort of your own home in six months probably depends on how nice the picture is on your television. »

« While I can't say I hated Chasing Mavericks, it still feels like a pretty minor entry into Hanson's impressive filmography. Perhaps it'll be more interesting to hardcore surfers or Moriarity devotees, but to the average bloke like me, it was OK, but that's it. »
