Here is the “The Blind Side” plot description:

Sandra Bullock (“The Proposal”), Tim McGraw (“Friday Night Lights”) and Oscar winner Kathy Bates (“Misery”) star in Alcon Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures’ “The Blind Side,” which depicts the remarkable true story of all-American football star Michael Oher.

Teenager Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) is surviving on his own – virtually homeless – when he is spotted on the street by Leigh Anne Tuohy (Sandra Bullock). Learning that the young man is one of her daughter’s classmates, Leigh Anne insists that Michael – wearing shorts and a T-shirt in the dead of winter – come out of the cold. Without a moment’s hesitation, she invites him to stay at the Tuohy home for the night.

Despite the differences in their backgrounds, what starts out as a gesture of kindness becomes much more as Michael becomes part of the Tuohy family.

Living in his new environment, the teen faces a completely different set of challenges to overcome. As the family helps Michael fulfill his potential both on and off the football field, Michael’s presence in the Tuohys’ lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of their own.

“The Blind Side” trailer can be watched now below.

Favie sports tearjerker...

Rudy always brings me to tears. Why? Well, I’ve seen “Field of Dreams,” and that’s well done. “Brian’s Song” is good, as is “Remember the Titans.” But Rudy is mindful. Yeah, I hear ya; typical “underdog” story, poor working class boy, fights his way to the top and wants to play on Notre Dame’s football team, is told he can’t, is too small, too old, blah blah…BUT this one is based on a true story. He works as hard as he possibly can to get his grades well enough to even be able to be admitted into Notre Dame and it shows that even back in the day it was difficult. His perserverance is inspiring, infectious and it eventually pays off for him and the viewer. I almost always get weepy whenever I hear the Fighting Irish’s anthem before a football game, thinking of tiny Rudy running out onto the field for the first and last time of his life. It’s an inspiring story, well made movie, shows Illinois(where I’m from), has Sean Asten(whom I dig!) and Jon Favreau…and the funny thing? Football? It’s not my favorite sport…hell, I don’t even like football(well, I do like college football a bit).

I loved remember the titans it was a really good movie and it was a great film that portrayed the segregation of that time and what they had to go through!
