Synopsis: Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) knows little about family. Less about football. What the homeless teen knows are the streets and projects of Memphis. Well-to-do Leigh Anne Tuohy (Sandra Bullock) knows little about his world. Yet when she and Michael meet, he's found a home. And the Tuohys have found something just as life-changing: a beloved new son and brother. This real-life story of family and of Michael's growth into a blue-chip football star will have you cheering with its mix of gridiron action and heartwarming emotion. Share the remarkable journey of the college All-American and first-round NFL draft pick who was a winner before he ever stepped onto the playing field.

Review: I hate sports.  I hate sports movies.  The Blind Side was one of those films that turned me off right away in the trailers, but surprised me when watching it.  I found myself really getting into the characters and even rooting for them in the sports situations, which is very much unlike me.  The Blind Side is a great film.  The Oscars recognized Sandra Bullock for her acting ability in this film.  That made me stand up and take notice.

There was a lot of hype surrounding Precious this past year with heartstring dramas, and while the Blind Side did get a great amount of attention, I don't feel like it necessarily got all that it deserved.  Sandra Bullock really goes all-out in this film and delves into some great dramatic acting.  I've enjoyed her in more comedic roles in the past, like Demolition Man, but this time out she really showed her acting chops.

This is a great DVD and we recommend picking it up.  Its a nice family watch without being boring or too cliche.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
