Sandra Bullock's portrayal of Leigh Anne Tuohy was fascinating-I'd really love to meet Mrs. It was a pleasure to watch Tim McGraw as Sean Tuohy, making a somewhat minor character in the film memorable.
The actors brought plenty of life to the characters they were playing. It's this single act of kindness that begins a chain of events that will change this underdog's life, eventually resulting in his being a top 2009 NFL draft pick and signing with the Baltimore Ravens. While walking on a cold, rainy night, Oher is offered a ride and then a place to sleep for the night by the Leigh Anne Tuohy, whose children attend the same school Michael does. Unfortunately, being an undereducated black youth in a predominantly white private school doesn't magically turn his life around, and in addition to struggling to understand his classes, he finds himself sleeping in an all night laundromat after the stay at the friend's house ends. He is reluctantly accepted to a private school when the football coach sees potential in him and pressures the school's admissions board to give him a chance. Having been removed by CPS from his crack-addicted mother's home as a child and bounced from foster home to foster home, Oher has been staying on a friend's couch.
As with any sports movie, you must have an underdog to cheer for, and Michael Oher is that underdog. I love sports movies as well as movies based on true stories, so this film hit multiple buttons for me personally, but reactions of others leaving the theater seemed equally positive. I saw this last night at a screening and found it to be a very inspiring movie.
