"The Blindside"

Michael Oher with the Tuohy's his legal guardians.
This is a feel good movie. You leave
the theatre and everyone is smiling.
It is based on a true story of Baltimore Ravens pro
player Michael Oher. He was a homeless 17 year old going to
a prep school that he did not fit into.
He was given that opportunity because of his athletic ability.
Sandra Bullock plays the role of the feisty southerner
Leigh Ann Tuohy, who took him in and treated him
like her own child and he responded positively.
He did not carry any baggage from his sad childhood and being
abandoned by his drug addicted mother. He just pretty much
closed his eyes and moved forward as he just improved
himself both in his academic and football career. He became part of
the family and they learned from him as well.
Sandra Bullock doesn't even seem to be acting.
I have always said she is a natural and she is looking very
good in her tight sexy threads. I say Oscar nomination could be possible.
Quinton Aaron who plays Michael Oher is shown here
with Jae Head who plays SJ Tuohy, the little brother who emulates
Tom Crew's , Jerry Maguire character negotiating with the
College coaches on Michael's behalf.

This is the real Michael Oher who took a football scholarship at "Ole Miss", but was offered scholarships to almost every college in the country. I think people like the Tuohy's are just good people and it there is something uplifting to see people like them doing things for other human beings. There are some good scenes of Bullock lunching with the other society women who question what she is doing. I say it is worth going out to the movies to see this one.
