We never see much of Moriarty's home life beyond his screw-up mother, and this qualifies as "back story". There's absolutely no reason for Sonny to be in the film, but the rules of screenwriting say Moriarty needs an antagonist. A large part of the problem is that we meet Moriarty, Kim, Blond, and Sonny when they're all kids, and when the movie jumps ahead seven years, all of them are still acting the same way Sonny even carries the same baseball bat.
With characters written so paper-thin, it's hard to qualify Chasing Mavericks as a "coming-of-age" story, especially when Moriarty doesn't change much. He keeps following his dream. It's never difficult to pin down any character's motivations, partially because the characters never miss a moment to tell you.
In case you couldn't figure out that there's a surrogate father-son relationship happening between Frosty and Moriarty, Frosty's wife Brenda Abigail Spencer is on hand to let us know.
Every moment is painfully announced to the point where you can set your watch to when the second act rising conflict will come about and the main characters will have to deal with their problems before the redemptive third act.

If you want to watch a movie with a fresh point of view on the world and enjoy every minute of it, I highly recommend watching Chasing Mavericks.
Chasing Mavericks is the type of movie that will make you feel alive. Not only me, but many of the other people watching it in the theater were so moved that you would actually they would move with the waves in the movie. The movie approaches the theme of love, family and freedom in a very natural way; something that we rarely see in any other movies of this decade.
It's very inspirational and motivating, yet it's very real and natural, so you get inspired without being lectured. My hat's off to the person who first came up with the idea of having Gerard Butler play the role of Frosty, because no other actor could pull it off so perfectly. Butler's character is a mentor, father figure and yet, he does seem larger than life, a character that I can call Poseidon, the god of the seas.
Aside from that, this is one of those rare movies that resonates father and son relationship, which is really good to see for a change. Grown men, including me, were actually crying when they watched some emotional scenes and this rarely happens.
I highly recommend this movie to everyone who wants to reconnect with their emotions and thoughts. Details Edit. Release date October 26, United States. United States. Official Facebook Official site Japan.
