I was prepared for melodramatic sap in Soul Surfer but not the Christian morals shoved down my throat.
Based on the true story of surfer Bethany Hamilton who lost an arm in a shark attack and her struggle to go back to what she loved. The film depicts a world where all the pretty blond girls are good & the dark haired ones are bad and if you have faith in God everything will be all right. What a crock of horseshit.
Apart from AnnaSophia Robb's inspiring performance and composer Marco Beltrami's ability to tone down the melodrama with his uniquely simplistic score, this film should be avoided if you're not a braindead zombie.
