Normally, I don't do this, but a first person point-of-view diatribe has to come out in this review and off of this reviewer's chest. Soul Surfer follows this young girl's journey to understand why bad things happen to good people, what really matters in the world, and finding the will and reasons to still compete and not give up her livelihood. Her determination to not let her new shortcomings beat her is strong, but her confidence and faith are broken from where they were before the accident. Bethany survives, but is forever changed and her tragic story gains national attention. In the blink of a eye, the tiger shark severs her left arm above the elbow.ĭespite losing over 60% of her blood, quick action from her coach (Kevin Sorbo of old TV Hercules fame) and her focused composure to avoid shock saves her life. All that changes when she is attacked by a 14-foot tiger shark while training for her next big meet. Raised by a family of surfers, including a pair of ultra-supportive parents (Dennis Quaid and Academy Award winner Helen Hunt), she's a good, God-fearing kid with her values in the right place. In 2003, Bethany was a budding 13-year old local amateur surf champion looking to get sponsored on a circuit at the next level. Soul Surfer tells the true story of Bethany Hamilton, played by AnnaSophia Robb of Bridge to Terabithia, Race to Witch Mountain, and Because of Winn-Dixie. It isn't a glam-girl drama pushing itself as Blue Crush 2. You can try to call it formulaic and attempt to single out the expected cliches of being a comeback sports movie, but Soul Surfer is definitely something special and unique. Add a powerful story for women and goodhearted Christian overtones and you've got something equally unique and special for bigger crowd.
