The movie doesn't come out for another week but I saw a screening of it last night. Great looking cinematography of Hawaii, and it's based on the true story of Bethany Hamilton, whose arm was bitten off by a shark. The CGI is outstanding - YOU WILL BELIEVE ANNASOPHIA ROBB ONLY HAS ONE ARM. Otherwise, it's a very Christian-themed TV movie of the week. I generally liked it though it's really aimed towards young people and families. The credits with real footage of the real Bethany Hamilton are worth sitting through.

As stiff as a surfboard.

Sure. If you don't know anything about the story and want to find out by watching the movie. I knew Bethany Hamilton's arm was bitten off but I knew nothing else about her prior to the movie.
