The true story of Michael Oher, a homeless African-American youngster from a broken home, taken in by the Touhys, a well-to-do white family who help him fulfill his potential. At the same time, Oher's presence in the Touhys' lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of their own. Living in his new environment, the teen faces a completely different set of challenges to overcome. As a football player and student, Oher works hard and, with the help of his coaches and adopted family, becomes an All-American offensive left tackle.

If anyone doesn't know about Michael Oher's story, google him it is well worth the read. You can help but root for a guy like Michael Oher.

LOS ANGELES – The football-inspired drama "The Blind Side" has become the underdog hit of the season with a weekend box-office victory over "The Twilight Saga: New Moon."

The real-life tale "The Blind Side" took over the No. 1 spot with $20.4 million in its third weekend. The vampire romance "New Moon" finished second with $15.7 million after two weekends in first-place.

"The Blind Side" had been the No. 2 movie for the previous two weekends but has hung on with great fan buzz. The film stars Sandra Bullock as a woman whose family adopts homeless teen Michael Oher, now a rookie tackle for the Baltimore Ravens.

"New Moon" still is far ahead in total gross with $255.6 million domestically, compared to $129.3 million for "The Blind Side."

Just got back from watching this. It is so good & i even shed a few tears. Actually it was more than a few tears. lol I'm emotional at times. But if anyone hasn't seen this movie yet, i suggest it. It is really good and worth the money.

[Mecwolf19]

Wasn't a movie that I was too interested in but went with my family and I LOVED it! Not too much of a football fan so never heard of him until now. But the movie was really good. A movie everyone should go see!

[jaylee50]

I also think the movie is fantastic. Sandra Bullock's performance is superb. Tim McGraw was good; but, seriously, had a minor role. The story is heart warming, and it makes me wonder how many opportunities I might have missed to help someone reach a higher potential.

[eliefares]

The movie is amazing! I watched it yesterday.
Sandra Bullock was brilliant!! I'm glad she is having good roles again. She has had two huge movies this year!! i hope this indicates things to come!!
I think she's nominated for a golden globe for this. I hope she wins!!

My favorite line is:
"Who knew we would have a black son before knowing a democrat?" lol

[Lauren2sweet]

I Loved this Movie!!! I went to watch it last night and seriously cried like 4 times. It was soo Awesome and Sj was hilarious.

[CarrieUnderwoodismyHero]

I saw this yesterday. It was really good.

Saw this movie Christmas day, it was awesome. Great acting.

[Kellz]

that was a great interview, thanks for posting.


you know, i hear Julia Roberts turned down this role, and honestly, i think it worked out the best that she did. Bullock nailed it
