I cried - several times

Rating: 10/10 (4 May 2011)

I watched it for the first time at home via DVD. There were several times I had to stop and collect myself. I forgot I was watching a movie and looking at Sandra Bullock. After seeing the "real person" on Extreme Makeover Home Edition, I could see just how much Sandra Bullock became her character! I wish I could meet both the actors and the real family so I can hug all of them. Everyone needs someone like that in their lives. Sandra Bullock offers her entire soul to her audience. Her portrayal was spot on. I would love to see the two women in the same room and the conversation they would have. The casting director did a superb job! I can't imagine anyone else playing this part and pulling it off as well. Sandra Bullock looks great as a blonde!
