The Daily Mail

 

'Unfashionable but inspirational... It warmed my heart, at any rate — and it's that rarity: a good news story that's actually true.'

The complete review is available at The Daily Mail

Evening Standard

  by Derek Malcolm

'The film is of the Hollywood inspirational genre, with God always just around the corner and a kind of beady sincerity. Clearly Bethany was quite a girl but this film prompts one simply to say "Amen".'

The Daily Telegraph

  by Tim Robey

'Robb's character gains some token perspective doing post-tsunami aid work in Thailand, but that's, like, so depressing, so it's soon back to the monster waves and mechanically-plotted triumph over adversity.'

The complete review is available at The Daily Telegraph

The Guardian

  by Xan Brooks

'Thin and frothy, though watch out for that final sentimental upsurge. It could drag and lift you against your will.'

The complete review is available at The Guardian

Time Out

  by Trevor Johnson

'One's soul remains resolutely unstirred, even if the surf sequences are engrossing and convincing'

The complete review is available at Time Out

Total Film

  by James Mottram

'This earnest dramatisation is so wholesome, it feels like being stuck in a never-ending Activia advert. '

The complete review is available at Total Film

The Independent

  by Anthony Quinn

'Wet, wet, wet. A feeble drama.'

The complete review is available at The Independent

Little White Lies

  by Martyn Conterio

'Starts off blandly and gets blander. A jumped up TV movie filled with fortune cookie wisdom and cheesy dialogue. Bethany was born to win, but this film born to lose.'
