The Blind Side

Previously this week, we watched the movie "the Blind Side".

The movie tells the story of "Big Mike" who is a poor african-american teenager, who struggles with school and can't find a place where he belongs in this world.

Sandra Bullock plays the role of the mother that takes Big Mike into her home, feeds and clothes him. He quickly finds out that he is a natural talent in football because of his size and his protective instincts. It moved along quickly and pulled me into the story and left me feeling inspired. The youngest son, S.J., did an amazing job! The character of Mike I think could have used a few more lines, even if he's supposed to be shy and reserved.

It's a light entertaining pick me up film that would be an excellent choice to bring the family to, most likely the reason why they released it over the Holidays..
