Soul Surfer

Soul Surfer stars AnnaSophia Robb, Dennis Quaid, and Helen Hunt. It also includes Lorraine Nichols, Jack Nichols daughter, and Carrie Underwood who we all know as American Idol winner, and country singer.
This is the real life story of Bethany Hamilton, a surfer who got her arm taken by a shark in a tragic accident. But more good came out then bad from losing her arm. AnnaSophia Robb portrays Bethany Hamilton in this movie, and may I say she did a great great job. It made me cry! Or tear up :) I saw it twice with my sister, and it's just one of the best movies I've seen this year. My immense love for AnnaSophia was resurfaced after seeing this movie. It's on on DVD today, actually! I'm gonna get it :D

The term 'soul surfer' is the title of the movie and the book Bethany Hamilton
wrote years ago, but the 'soul' part of it also refers to their familys faith in
Jesus Christ. They are Christians, so that was a huge part of the movie.
AnnaSophia and Lorraine, who played the childhood best friend were shown
at youth church, their whole family at church, and on a mission trip. They
read the Bible and quoted scriptures in the movie, too. I think it's great that
they did that, or made it evident in the movie. Bethany Hamilton and her
family wanted their faith to be characterized in the movie because it's
what really went on! They weren't just gonna not do something. If you're
gonna do something, do it right, ya know? :)
