Of the many inspiring family films, few seem to gain plausibility, interesting stories, or even a few real tears. Well in fact, thats all some people need to know that there movie is good; crying can only makes us think we are enjoying ourselves when really, it's all crap. The Blind Side does a great job at showing a good family film, not too heavy on the crap, and knows the importance of making us go home moved and changed after watching it.
It tells the amazing true story of how one woman managed to picks up Michael Oher from the street, and within years, add him to the family and later become a football star. There is a quality to Michael that shines off of Leigh Anne (played amazingly by Sandra Bulock), which tells her that he's not just any regular boy. With a troubled past, he manages to put it aside soon enough for the family.
The film has some flaws yet somehow works, not just of the story, but of the performances by Sandra and Quintin Aaron. Both work together as if they both met, yet it seems like they really needed each other for the other to survive. Everyone has a blind side when things sneak up in you, just so coincidentally, this film does just that.
