Wow! I Was Pleasantly Surprised!

Rating: 9/10 (19 January 2013)

I was expecting a typical 'movie of the week' type but this was anything but that. The first part was chilling and followed a family vacationing at a beach resort in Thailand for Christmas, unbeknownst to them a tsunami would slam into the place just one day after Christmas. Even though I knew about the tsunami of Thailand in 2004, this brought it to life. The second part was emotional! I have not cried this much at a movie since... I don't remember when. The children who acted in this move did a wonderful job of bringing this story to life! What talented actors!! This movie is based on a true story. At the movie's end, I don't believe there was a dry eye in the theater.
