Rating: PG-13
Movie Release Date: November 20, 2009
DVD Release Date: March 23, 2010
Plot 411: A well-to-do Memphis woman takes in a homeless kid who grows up to become an NFL athlete.
Review: The movie was really emotional, endearing, inspirational and heartwarming, but I don't know if Sandra Bullock really deserved the Oscar. I mean, she did a great job in a difficult role and pulled off the bossy, no-nonsense character, but I don't think the performance was exceptional. Bullock plays Leigh Anne Tuohy, a woman who saw a child in need and extended her hand to help. She took in Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron), a boy from the other side of town who had been in and out of system. His mother was a drug addict. He was essentially alone. Tuohy opened up her family and their home to help him succeed. She supported him when no one else would. She fed and clothed him and even became his legal guardian. This is a story about love. Also great in this film is Jae Head, the actor who plays Tuohy's younger son. He is precocious and extremely funny. Tim McGraw, Lily Collins and Kathy Bates round out the cast.
Watch It: Because Bullock's character is extremely likable despite her pushy ways.
Skip It: If you're looking for a football movie because that's not what this one's about.
