    Apparently this is Soul Surfer (2011) and its not a well constructed film. I knew of it but assumed that bc of the weird cheap-ass Disney channel type vibes that is wasnt that film. It took forever to get to the shark attack, and then the most consequential scene of the film was edited like ass.

    I really wanted to see this film in theaters just to get the silly bands even though my older sibling wanted to see Soul Surfer instead. MEH. Silly Bands are a fad anyway and I have not seen this film in a long time.

    the only one i know off the top of my head is Bethany Hamilton, who lost an arm in a shark attack. her biography is Soul Surfer (which inspired a movie that my youth group took me to see, hence my familiarity), and it looks like she had a documentary, too.

    "From Director Sean McNamara (“Reagan,” “Soul Surfer”), the film is inspired by the true story and 2016 bestselling book On Fire by John O’Leary. O’Leary’s story begins with his miraculous recovery from a near-death accident when he was 9 years old." #OnFireBook ✍️ www.patheos.com/blogs/reelfa...

    Guess my suspicions unfortunately came true. Dennis Quaid being in all those cringely preachy Tri-Star movies. Thats right some zealot bought Tri Star i guess and turned it into a hypocrite movie empire. Dennis was in Soul Surfer and I Can Only Imagine. Maybe others.

    Happy 30th Birthday to AnnaSophia Robb! You may remember her from Bridge to Terabithia or Soul Surfer. She is my choice to play Zelda in the upcoming movie.

    This is a mediocre movie based on an amazing true story about perseverance and family. If you stick through 45 min, you will figure out it is an ok movie, but nothing more. Major mistakes are that it is too drawn-out, and too much focus on the holy-Jesus-. That and too many tanned brain-dead surf-douche supporting actors makes it very corny (And you want to bite your own arm off in frustration after 1 hr). But the main actress makes a solid effort, which is worth it. Shoot the rest, and feed…
