Soul Surfer


Movie: Soul Surfer
Genre: drama
Synopsis: The true story of Bethany Hamilton (AnnaSophia Robb), a teenage surfer in Hawaii who lost an arm in a shark attack.  Following the attack, we follow Bethany and her family (father played by Dennis Quaid and mother played by Helen Hunt) as she recovers from the attack and ultimately is able to surf at a championship level.

My two cents: Many parts of this were absolutely gut-wrenching in their emotional impact.  The whole story was pretty amazing.  The courage and determination of Bethany are truly inspiring.  If you can get past the horror of the accident, you will find a lot to like in this movie.
