Trivia
The second film in which Helen Hunt's character surfs. Her first was Soul Surfer (2011).

Quotes
Jackie: Would you tell him if that's how someone made him feel?
Angelo: I'd tell him if that someone would rather die than sit still, than be with one thing - one son. If that person wanted to be near me, I'd stay very, very far away, and I wouldn't come back.

The Vidiot Reviews.....

Ride

When a woman says that she's riding the crimson wave it doesn't mean she's a sunrise surfer.

Mind your, the middle-aged mom in this dramedy could be the exception.

When her son Angelo (Brenton Thwaites) drops out of college to pursue his writing and surf aspirations on the West Coast, Jackie (Helen Hunt) takes a hiatus from her editing job to keep an eye on him.

In California she starts taking surf lessons from Ian (Luke Wilson) and discovers a new side to herself apart from her son's post-secondary life choices.

Free to explore, Angelo also finds his rebellious view on education may not be the best option for his art.

From its superficial self-discovery script to its stock surfing shots, this vanity project from writer/director Helen Hunt does little to showcase any noteworthy talents beyond her established acting ability.

Nevertheless, surfer parents sound way less involved than helicopter parents.
