A homeless youth finds his place with a generous woman and her family,
and discovers a future he never thought possible. Wonderful, is the
best way to describe what this film is. The production team brought
their A game to this drama. Direction and cinematography really grabbed
my attention, especially during the football games. All actors
delivered believable performances, with Sandra Bullock and Quinton
Aaron shining above the others. The story is based on the real life
events of, now rookie offensive tackle, Michael Oher, whose life is
changed by interior designer and mother Leigh Anne Touhy. The writers
did a really good job of delivering their story and kept great flow
throughout. I felt inspired by the film as I'm sure you'll share after
experiencing the lives of this unique family.
