A well-intentioned, big-hearted, wannabe-crowd-pleaser that just happens to be so incompetently made that it might be rejected by Oprah's channel.

All that separates this from made-for-TV territory is another strong turn from gifted young lead AnnaSophia Robb.

It's Bethany and Alana's friendship - its sturdiness and vulnerability, its laughs and sincere apologies - that rules the day.

It's ultimately let down by some heavy-handed sentimentality, an over-abundance of Bible-bashing and some dodgy CGI sequences.

A solid and inspiring story about faith and family.

A well-meaning, handsomely staged biopic of the top Hawaii-based surfing star Bethany Hamilton who lost her arm to a shark in 2003 at the age of 13...

Soul Surfer seems simply too sugar-coated to be true.
January 09, 2013
The best faith-based film ever made, an uplifting, entertaining and wonderfully-acted account of surfer Bethany Hamilton's life before and after a shark bit her arm off in the waters off her favorite Hawaiian beach.

A by-the-numbers biopic about young surfer Bethany Hamilton.

You wonder why this movie isn't a documentary, rather than a synthetic feature film with the heroine's arm digitally removed.
September 21, 2011
A succession of would-be rousing clichés.
April 09, 2011
Hamilton is played, blandly, by Anna Sophia Robb, and her devoted parents, less bland, are played by Dennis Quaid and Helen Hunt. The surfing footage, much of it shot off the coast of Kauai, is not bland at all.
