This is a mediocre movie based on an amazing true story about perseverance and family. If you stick through 45 min, you will figure out it is an ok movie, but nothing more. Major mistakes are that it is too drawn-out, and too much focus on the holy-Jesus-. That and too many tanned brain-dead surf-douche supporting actors makes it very corny (And you want to bite your own arm off in frustration after 1 hr). But the main actress makes a solid effort, which is worth it. Shoot the rest, and feed them to the sharks.
