But in reality, it\u2019s <em>The Karate Kid<\/em> with surfing; or, just an elongated episode of <em>Saved by the Bell<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p>Gerard Butler is the \u201cMr. Miyagi\u201d in this telling that takes place in the mid-90s out in Santa Cruz, California.  His \u201cDanielson\u201d is Jonny Weston, who plays surfer Jay Moriarity.  Butler, known as Frosty, takes Jay under his wing, and prepares him to surf the elusive \u201cmaverick\u201d wave.  Many people believe these monstrous waves do not exist, as the story compares them to the Lochness Monster.  But as 16 year-old Jay finds out after following Frosty around, they are as real as the bacon fried ice-cream.<\/p>\n<p>So the training commences, as the talented young and insanely positive surfer adheres to Frosty\u2019s strict guidelines in preparation to survive this uber-risky ride.  <\/p>\n<p>While a good portion of the flick is focusing on Frosty and Jay\u2019s relationship in and out of the water, a few subplots are touched upon via Elizabeth Shue playing Jay\u2019s alcoholic mother, and Abigail Spencer, playing Frosty\u2019s wife.  Of the two, Spencer and Butler are far more interesting than Shue\u2019s character.  That said, they\u2019re both never fully flushed out and are inserted just to break up the monotony of the basic training sequences in the coastal waters.  And then there\u2019s the loose high school love interest on display via Leven Rambin\u2019s \u201cKim;\u201d and the stereotypical bully angle with an older fellow surfer in Sonny (Taylor Handley).  But again, they\u2019re just glossed over and could have easily been edited out for more substantial \u201clife\u201d conversations between the two leads.  Frosty\u2019s background could have been explored further, too.<\/p>\n<p>And even though the dialogue is very cookie-cutter like, every now and then a resonating message is projected out.  Hence, Saved by the Bell likeness.  <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s pretty much covers the spectrum of what is occurring in this mild sports\/bio pic.  On the technical side, the capturing of all the surfing action is cool to watch if one is unfamiliar with the sport.  Massive waves crashing on the rocks and wiping out surfers does a decent job in showcasing the danger of riding the waves.  Last year\u2019s <em>Soul Surfer<\/em> may have set the standard for cinematically capturing surfing \u2013 and had a more compelling story \u2013 but this holds up well enough to present a nice leisurely watch, with a notable message\/theme.  Plus, if you grew up in the \u201890s, the alternative-rock soundtrack provides a smidgen of nostalgia.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, <em>Chasing Mavericks<\/em> maneuvers a bit choppy on the mechanical side, but the engaged performances by Butler and Weston, along with timely inspiring dialogue, can smooth out the ride.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Technical:  B<\/p>\n<p>Story:  C+<\/p>\n<p>Acting:  B<\/p>\n<p>Overall:  C+<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_107893\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-107893\" style=\"width: 636px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/ChasingMavericks.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/ChasingMavericks.jpg\" alt=\"Chasing Mavericks\" title=\"Chasing Mavericks\" width=\"636\" height=\"360\" class=\"size-full wp-image-107893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/ChasingMavericks.jpg 636w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/ChasingMavericks-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 636px) 100vw, 636px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-107893\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Riding high and dangerous<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Chasing Mavericks Director: Michael Apted &#038; Curtis Hanson Chasing Mavericks is officially labeled a sports-drama.
