Soul Surfer (2011)

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Yet another trash movie about a young teen played by an adult, who is also a model..... Nothing in this movie is believable.No wonder young girls have so many image problems these days.This is a sickly sweet feel good till you vomit religious propaganda version of 90210.How is it that so few people have noticed the gratuitous liberty taken with the original story in order to market unhealthy lifestyle choices to young women while being disguised as Christian propaganda in order to gain fake support.The moral of the story is that all the hard work and training she did to recover was a waste of time. Her imaginary friend fixed everything after she begged and pleaded enough.Its one of the most disturbing films I have ever seen. Not suitable for young children or teens. I wont be showing it to my girl child who is just learning to surf.

I watched it so late but it didn't matter. Whether you watched it yesterday or today, it would always seem new. It was so superb and motivational that you would never get tired of watching it again. Just saw it and sees the changes in yourself. You would perceived everything in right way. Its right that we cannot change what we have gone through or what have happened earlier, but we have full opportunity to change what will going to happen tomorrow. That what movie will tell you, just look at the brighter side what you have. if you just rise up when everything puts you down then you are champion. And BETHANY HAMILTON is CHAMPION.

There may be a few very minor spoilers here, but nothing that wouldn't be seen in reading basic info about the film.This is one of my favorite films, it's very inspirational and emotional. The fact that it's a true story (overall at least) is what makes it so special. Ironically, I think that my favorite part is the ending credits when it shows videos of the real Bethany Hamilton and things that she has done since the attack. It's truly amazing that she has become a champion surfer even though she only has one arm, it hardly seems possible.As a Christian, there are a couple parts that I consider to be inappropriate, mainly the photo shoot. But most of the film is fully acceptable. I was worried that it would be like the movie "The Blind Side" which has a lot of bad language and inappropriate stuff. But thankfully that's not really the case. The fact that Bethany Hamilton and her family are Christians in real life is probably the main reason why. It's interesting that they insisted on having a couple Bible verses.The shark attack, and the rescue are rather intense, so if you're sensitive to things like this, you may want to skip this part. I don't mind it, I probably shouldn't call it exiting, since it was a very tragic event, but I do enjoy watching it. The rest of the film is mostly gentle.

A subtle real life based movie that inspires and asks to re-evaluate one's perspectives in life . A must watch for soul that loves to surf the tides of life. Anna Sophia Robb has done complete justice in portraying the feelings, emotions and resolution of amazing Bethany Hamilton.The movie also speaks volumes about the role of family and their unwavering support , care , faith and believe in ensuring that dreams of any family member do see the light of the day. With songs like set the world on fire , its your life and many more the movie replenishes one's soul to take on life head on.
