If you look hard enough you can still find good movies with a message of faith, family, love of country, and strong moral values. Tales of unlikely heroes, and people with incredible courage, and those who beat all the odds, triumphantly concurring the worse that life can throw at them. Soul Surfer is one of these movies, joining The Blind Side, Secretariat, Letters to God, and Sophie Scholl-the Final Days, on my short list of excellent movies made in recent years that should be on every family’s “gotta see” list.

As expected, the big Hollywood studios would not touch this script, and few theaters picked the movie up. After all, it was about home schooled Christian girl who had unshaken faith in Jesus.

My hats off to Dennis Quaid , Helen Hunt and AnnaSophia Robb,-the little girl from Because of Winn-Dixie, now all grown up. They excellently brought the Bethany’s story to film.

Just rented it and watched it the other night - great movie. Saw the trailer for Courageous and can’t wait to see that one. They pre-viewed it for the staff at my sons’ school and I’ve heard nothing but great things about it.

Is this a movie in theaters now or an old one? the reason I ask is we just got Netflixs and if it is an old movie maybe we can watch it tonight and never leave the house. Netflixs is awesome.

I have surfed my whole life and I took my 13 yr old to see this movie. Bethany is a tremendous person, great role model. Her whole family seems to be quite an inspiration. She has turned pro and is riding giants at Jaws as a tow-in. She can out paddle and out surf most grown men, including me. This is a two tissue movie.......
My only complaints are technical, like saying they are surfing a contest at Sunset when they are really surfing in Makaha. The last wave of the contest is a huge left barrel that doesn’t happen at the break they were surfing, etc...
Most people will not notice these technical issues unless you have surfed in HI.
