What the Critics say | ||
Cape Argus / The Star Kgomotso Moncho | 10 | |
Box Office Steve Ramos Sappy melodrama, clumsy dialogue and heavy-handed proselytizing derail the inspirational story of teen surfer Bethany Hamilton who survived a vicious shark attack in 2003 but lost her left arm in the ordeal. | 5 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs Overall, the film is decent enough, but considering the amazing true life story behind all of it, I was expecting or at least hoping for an equally amazing dramatic version of it. | 10 | |
