The Blind Side - A Heart-Warming Story

The Blind SideThe Blind Side - A Heart-Warming Story.  Based on a true story, "The Blind Side" is a movie about a homeless African-American youngster, Michael Oher, who is taken in by the Tuohys, a well-to-do white family who helps him fulfill his greatest potential. 

This is truly a triumpant story about a young man who is blessed with an opportunity to rise above his unfortunate circumstances and go all the way to the top to become an All-American offensive left tackle, and eventually a round one draft pick in the NFL.

I am not usually a big fan of sports-type movies, but this heart-warming, inspirational story will literally hit you on your blind side and will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy.  A must see movie.  Be prepared though, "The Blind Side" can be a tear-jerker, so don't forget to bring the Kleenex!
