Soul Surfer is a feel-good movie that is based on a true story. It shows the hard work and dedication that it takes to get back on track to achieve one’s dreams. Bethany Hamilton, played by AnnaSophia Robb is a big time surfer in Hawaii. While out surfing with her family one day, she gets attacked by a shark and loses an arm.

At first, Bethany is ready to give up and doesn’t think that she can surf again. But after taking a trip to Thailand to help clean up from the tsunami, Bethany found that she cannot give up. She works with her family to rebuild her strength in order to do what she loves again: surfing. Bethany also has to mentally become strong again, she has to learn to not be afraid of the water. It takes time, but eventually Bethany is back in the water surfing again for fun and in competitions.

I’d give this movie a ten out of ten and I’d add it to your must-watch list. Soul Surfer is an inspiring movie that shows to truly never give up hope and hard work. Bethany is a role-model to lots of kids and other athletes everywhere. This movie is a tear-jerker but it is definitely worth it, you’ll feel positive and determined after watching Soul Surfer.
