It is almost impossible to find a solid piece of well-acted, inspirational entertainment nowadays, owing to the bombardment of trite high school flicks and predictable thrillers and so The Blind Side is like a breath of fresh air. Based on the book The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game by Michael Lewis, the movie at some levels, is typical ,as far as the main plot goes. The Blind Side depicts the remarkable true story of Michael Oher, a homeless African-American youngster from a broken home, taken in by the Touhys, an affluent white family who help him fulfill his potential.
