Eames A @EamesAgu Sep 24, 2026 One of those underrated gems that you randomly see on streaming and wonder why it's now hard to find. Maybe its the weird title, but it's an inspiring story of a regular guy trying to be great, and a younger Gerard Butler at the top of his game. Though it ends in bittersweet fashion, it's a bit too dark for Disney but very light and fun compared with most fare. See more

Blake- N @PBSAniDom Apr 8, 2026 For my thoughts, Chasing Mavericks was pretty meh overall. It has an inspiring true story at its core, and the surfing scenes are definitely impressive, but the movie itself feels very formulaic. Gerard Butler gives a solid performance, but the characters aren’t developed enough to make a strong emotional impact. A lot of the story beats feel predictable, and it follows the typical sports drama structure without adding much that’s new. It’s not a bad movie, just kind of forgettable outside of the visuals. Overall, I’d give it a 5/10—it has its moments, but doesn’t really stand out compared to similar films. See more

thiago S @Thiagostone Mar 12, 2026 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more

D M @JoeyBidunce Feb 3, 2026 A true story made into a fantastic movie. Great acting, decent script- steller music. And Butler, Shue, and Spencer are very good actors. See more

SkyRo P @TheMovieSearch Jan 2, 2024 #MovieReview #Disneyplus #TrueStory #LiveLikeJay #ChasingMavericks Chasing Mavericks, originally a Fox movie now available on Disney+, is a must-watch film that deserves your attention. Based on a true story, this movie showcases Gerard Butler in an early role, portraying a teacher figure in a compelling manner. The narrative follows a fatherless child who perseveres against all odds to achieve his dreams, making for a heartwarming and inspiring story. I appreciate Disney's efforts in bringing such hidden gems to light, allowing audiences to enjoy and appreciate these lesser-known films. The authenticity of the water scenes, using real water instead of relying heavily on CGI, adds a level of realism to the film that enhances the viewing experience. Chasing Mavericks is a captivating movie that offers a mix of drama, inspiration, and genuine emotion. It's a great addition to the Disney franchise and definitely worth a watch for those seeking an uplifting and impactful story. Give this film a chance, and you won't be disappointed. See more
