Film: Soul Surfer (2011). Young Actress: AnnaSophia Robb, age 16.

I wanted to like Soul Surfer; honestly, I did. It was AnnaSophia's first wide-release film since Race to Witch Mountain in 2009, and movies based on inspirational true stories (in this case, a Hawaiian teen who continues surfing after losing her arm in a shark attack) generally do ( Read more... )

Film: Bridge to Terabithia (2007). Young Actress: AnnaSophia Robb, 12.
