The Reel Deal
The Blind Side(rated PG-13) - starring Sandra Bullock, Tim McGraw, Quinton Aaron, Jae Head, and Lily Collins
The true story of a young, Black man(Aaron, playing Michael Oher) who was living on the streets, and the wealthy, White family who 'adopted' him, nurtured and loved him, and how that young man succeeded - eventually graduating high school, becoming a college football phenom, and eventually becoming a first-round NFL draft selection(by the Baltimore Ravens.)
Sandra Bullock(Leigh Anne Touhy) is more beautiful than ever, and Tim McGraw(Sean Touhy) does an admirable job of playing the rich, Tennessee restaurant franchise owner. The scene stealer is Jae Head(S.J. Touhy), who makes ADHD look like an admirable trait!
This is a feel-good, chick flick. It is fun, if you are football fan. It is emotional in several places. Bullock is hyped to be Oscar-nominated for her performance. No, I don't think so! I liked the film, but was not overwhelmed by anything but the story-line! There are too many other good films out there, if you enjoy the big screen. For this one - wait for it on DVD - don't get blind-sided!
