Making it's debut on the list, a choice that may surprise but I really dig Helen Hunt's second film behind the camera. Looking as great as she still does with surfing scenes and even smoking weed? What's not to like!
A simple comedy-drama, she plays a over-protective mom who follows her son out to California and learns how to surf while trying to figure out a mend for their relationship. At the same time she hangs out with her towncar driver (David Zayas who totally shines here) and falls for her surfing instructor (Luke Wilson, Owen's brother, also really good.)
Hunt's scenes first learning how to surf and fall off the board are quite funny. Even though we already know the moral lesson that both mom and son will learn in the end, it's a lotta fun getting there and love the LA and NY locations. Streams free on Tubi, Vudu, YT and others, give it a shot. 3.0 stars/5
