The Blind Side

The Blind Side is a surprisingly good movie. I say this fully knowing that it looks to "aw shucks" for it's own good.
.
It is saved that fate by Sandra Bullock - who is as good as I have seen her bar Miss Congeniality - and the black actor who (under)plays Micheal Orr.

It could have easily fallen into tear jerking melodrama - but Sandra Bullock - beautifully directed, never lets it. It is a feisty fun time. And, if you like a sports team (I know this let's you out Lisa) and ever hated a sports rival - there are times this movie will make you laugh so hard you spit your soda all over Ed (maybe that was just me).

I lurved it.
