Any movie coming out Nov. 20 is probably going to take a hit at the box office. I say that because people will either be flocking to see “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” or they’ll be avoiding the theater altogether because of all those “New Moon” fans.
But I hope non-“Twilight” fans will get out to see “The Blind Side.” It’s a thoughtful, inspiring movie based on the real-life book by Michael Lewis titled “The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game.”
It’s about a homeless, oversized, uneducated teenager named Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) who’s taken in by a wealthy woman named Leigh Anne Touhy (Sandra Bullock) and her family. As it turns out, Michael has a talent for football and ends up doing well in the sport – thanks to Leigh Anne’s guidance and inspiration.
It’s directed by John Lee Hancock and also stars Tim McGraw and Kathy Bates. “The Blind Side” is rated PG-13 for one scene involving brief violence, drug and sexual references. Watch the trailer and see what you think.
