marvelous movie

Rating: 9/10 (13 October 2010)

This was an A+ movie about the true story of Michael Oher, a boy who goes from life on the streets to football star. All he needs is a little love and a family to support him, and he gets that in the Tuohy family. Sandra Bullock deserved her Oscar in her role as the matriarch of the clan. You will love the transformation "Big Mike" undergoes as he goes from lost both in the streets and in life, found by the Tuohys, taken in, enrolled at the Christian school, educated there (where he learns the game of football), tutored by Kathy Bates, and taught about life. We also learn about his old life, with his old neighborhood friends and mother. I loved his Friday night game debut scene. Controversy ensues as he makes his choice of colleges. You will love all the scenes where the coaches come to visit as well as the inspirational movie in general. See it! *** out of ****
