Continuity mistake: When they get to the beach to surf the windows in the truck are left open, but after the shark attack Byron comes running back to call 911. The windows are now closed, so he has to throw the rock at the window and get the cell phone.

Soul Surfer plays like an extended Hallmark card-pretty, well-meaning, sweet but a touch overboard on trying to feel good. AnnaSophia Robb plays the plucky and lovely Bethanny, who lives to surf and is a rising star who loses one of her arms in a shark attack. She barely lets her sudden change of fortunes affect her, and her family provides strong support through her good times and challenging times. Therein lies a problem dramatically-she's so unflappable and Pollyanna-like at times that she comes across as less affected than she should be, and her family and friends seem almost underdeveloped and predictable, lending the movie a made-for-family-TV feel. Still, the story is heartening and positive overall, and might even inspire someone who has gone through serious setbacks to overcome them.
amazing and touching!
