Top Critics Reviews

A succession of would-be rousing cliches.

Soul Surfer seems simply too sugar-coated to be true.

rotten:
You wonder why this movie isn't a documentary, rather than a synthetic feature film with the heroine's arm digitally removed.

rotten:
Hamilton is played, blandly, by Anna Sophia Robb, and her devoted parents, less bland, are played by Dennis Quaid and Helen Hunt. The surfing footage, much of it shot off the coast of Kauai, is not bland at all.

It's Bethany and Alana's friendship - its sturdiness and vulnerability, its laughs and sincere apologies - that rules the day.
