Review of Soul Surfer (2011) by Buggy B — 03 Jan 2014

This movie has a Disney feel to it and is heavy on the cheese but despite that I really enjoyed it. Great cast (including some surprising cameos) and a nice virtual vacation as it takes place exclusively in Hawaii. The whole shark attack scene could have been a bit more...dramatized but the ensuing chaos as they (Kevin Sorbo) try to get her onto land and to the hospital is well done. I understand the family is quite religious in real life, so I think they probably toned down that aspect, still a heavy Christian vibe. Not that there's anything wrong with that. 08.13 (2).

"Real life story of Bethany Hamilton who relies on her faith and the support of her parents (Helen Hunt & Dennis Quaid) as she attempts a comeback at championship surfing after losing an arm in a shark attack.".
