"Soul Surfer" (2011)

Typical inspirational story based on a true life one.  What made this movie nice was, first, the family wasn't a dysfunctional one--normal emotional reactions and faith struggles, but nothing overdone.  Second, who doesn't love gorgeous waves being surfed on?  The theology favors commercial-inspirational; look past it and just enjoy the movie as entertainment.  Some pretty infectious characters; I want to hang out with all of them.  It was also nice to get to know Bethany for quite a bit of movie before the shark attack--that they didn't put the shark attack right at the very, very beginning.  Nice movie.
