Against All Odds

In 2009 Sandra Bullock starred in The Blind Side. In this movie Leigh (Sandra Bullock) takes in an African American; Michael Oher.  Michael has been living with a friend, and his friend has decided to get Michael into a Christian school. The school board has a difficult time letting Michael in; they finally let him in. One night after a basketball game, Michael is walking in the pouring rain, when Leigh and her family pull over and pick him up. Michael ends up spending the night in their house. Leigh finds out that Michael has no family, and invites him into her home and family. Michael struggles through school, but with the help of his new family he is able to bring up his grades. Michael joins the football team, and becomes a star player. It is finally time to choose a college, and many colleges want Michael on their team. With the help of his new little brother Michael and S.J go through the colleges to choose one. After college football, Michael goes on to play professional football.

Sandra Bullock is a very inspiring character in this movie. She takes a young man into home, without even knowing anything about him. With his horrible past, Michael learns to love his new family, and open up to each of them. This movie shows that even with horrible past, you can still find a loving family that will love you for who you are. This was an excellent movie, probably one of the few I have cried over.
