Based on a true story, THE BLIND SIDE is a film currently in theatres. It stars Sandra Bullock, Tim McGraw, and Quinton Aaron. It's an inspirational sports film about a family who adopts a boy named Michael Oher.
He was homeless and lost, with no family or anyone to look to. Michael was from a broken home, with a drugee mother and no-show father. When he's given a shot at a Christian school, a family (the Touhys) take him in and help him fulfill his potential as a football player.
The film was heart-warming and inspiring. It showed a genuinely kind family who wanted nothing more than to give some help. Bullock, who portrayed the mother, Leigh Anne Touhy, gave what may be her best performance ever. She is kind and gentle, but strong-willed and confident.

Oher ended up going to Mississippi University, and getting drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the 2008 draft. It's a truly happy story that will make you feel like a happier person. Whether or not you like football, you'll love THE BLIND SIDE.
My Grade: A+
