Blind Side

Blind Side is a movie about a series of contradictions. A wife from a rich family in Tennessee finds a kid who is essentially homeless and takes him in and regardless of any criticism she receives she keeps thinking about how to make the kid's life better off. Sounds kind of syrupy doesn't it? Well the story is true. I had read about the woman and the kid - who it turns out is also a football player. Most of these "true story" films are silly but this one is well worth watching. Sandra Bullock (who plays the mom) and Quinton Aaron (who plays the kid) and the rest of the cast are superb - they are first and foremost believable. The movie is inspiring. I really enjoyed it.
