The Blind Side

If you skipped this movie in the theaters because it looked like a football movie, you missed the point. This is a movie about family with a few minutes of football included. It is a bit of a tearjerker but those parts are mixed with a generous dose of some very funny moments.

Sandra Bullock won the Oscar for her work here but the whole cast was great. Especially Jae Head the kid who takes the first steps to bring Michael Oher, the main character, into the mainstream. Country singer Tim McGraw plays the Dad close enough to reality.

I can't say enough nice things about how well Quinton Aaron played a homeless traumatized kid who it taken in by family with means and a whole lot of heart. This is a feel-good movie of the finest kind.

Even if you don't know anything about football, like the main character didn't, it's okay because everything you (and he) need to know is explained.

Watch this movie with family and make sure everyone feels included.
