The Blind Side

This was without exception a 5 star miracle. I choked up 7 times throughout the movie. This true life story shamed most of us, who have allowed their bias to prevent them from seeing what could be in a persons life.
Sandra Bullock never looked more beautiful. Her relentless pursuit for Michael's best is admirable and fantastic to watch unfold. She gave new meaning to the song "Ain't no mountain high enough."
S.J. Touhy proved that you do not have to be big to be a giant. He was funny and a force all by himself.
The Touhy family, and everyone that gets involved with Micheal's life quickly embraces and loves him.

I can't believe that I am the first to review this awsome movie. This one caught me by surprize. I expected to see either a good story and/or good acting but the both were outstanding. The story of a football player that didn't even know he was born for the sport until he came out of his shell with the love and encouragement from Leigh (Bullock). Too many details to write on, but the two scenes where Michael(Lillis) drove one player over the fence (well deserved) and busting up the crack house in the hood showed Michael's contemplation of his oportunity afforded by the Tuohy family. I loved the humble nature Michael portraid, excellent job by Bryan Lillis. The NAACP got a bad rap in the movie for what it brought up as a valid concern that Leigh handled with innocent approach. The out come for the whole story was very heartwarming. I don't rate five stars lightly, however this one gets it. Cudos to John Lee Hancock.
