Somehow I thought I would be watching something with less impact. The movie and the true-life woman behind it just took my breath away. I found it tremendously uplifting and thoroughly enjoyed the extra features, which isn't always the case.
To see the real person surfing was just....well amazing. Words don't suffice. Made one want to get out there and try it. The story of her courage in adversity just made my day and I still think of it often. Her good spirits and unyielding desire to surf were remarkable to watch.Terrific! - RogerB
I watched this with a 10 year old, and 13 year old. We all enjoyed the movie. The story was well told. I know the movie was about surfing, and determination, but I thought a little more on the struggles of living with one arm, and maybe a bit about the pain would have been better. Overall, a very good movie, we even watched it a second time.
