The Blindside

Brian and I were able to get away over the Thanksgiving holiday and see a movie together.  We made it a goal to go see the movie The Blindside over the holiday.  We generally rush out to see any movie about sports, especially true stories.  The Blindside not only features football but adoption as well.

I do not want to give away any of the details, but the film was great.  Very inspiring.  Although the adoptive family is incredibly wealthy and they are adopting a high schooler, it is still relatable.  The Blindside portrays many feelings adoptive families have, for example adopted children change our lives and make us better people, instead of us changing theirs.

As far as I'm concerned, you cannot go wrong with Tim McGraw.  Sandra Bullock is wonderful as well.    The little boy who plays the Tuohy's youngest son is a riot.  I loved him.  If  you get a chance hurry out to go see it.

I really wanted to see that movie too! And you're so right about adopted children changing OUR lives and NOT the other way around! I feel that way exactly!!

I LOVED that movie! Such a beautiful story and his little brother was a hoot! That boy had some good bargaining skills for his age!
