Soul Surfer Review.

This movie was really good. The movie can give a good moral to real life, Perserverence. The movie was pretty entertaining and amusing. The movie can be inspiring to other people that may have the same problem, but different scenario. Even though the movie was short, the dialogue kept me away from noticing how short the movie was. In the end, we all knew what was coming. Bethany was down by a fraction of a point, and a wave "Miraculously" appeared out of no where. It seemed pretty corny, and it made it looked like everything has a happy ending. Through the time where she was bit by the 14-foot long TIGER shark, it shows how strong she is, because she didn't panicked, nor passed out. She helped her friends by paddling out to the reefs, even though she was bitten by a shark. The actors and actress did a good job, although the main character (Anna Sophia Robb) Bethany Hamilton looks a little to old to play a 13 year old girl. To make the moral look really special, the family was really supportive to Bethany, and the setting also helps the story, since it looks like paradise. Although the movie more likely has a Genre of Sports, it can be a Drama movie. It can also be an adventure movie, since Bethany is like finding a new life, where she has to live with one arm. Although people that she didn?t even knew, they gave her a hard time by giving her ?the look?, whenever she goes.
