Awesome movie. I know it was based on a true story and I read about Micheal Oher before the movie and I was glad they didn't "Hollywood" it up and stayed true to the story. As a foster parent myself I know what an impact you can make on a child's life and it was so great to see how Michael turned out. I also can't wait to watch it on DVD as there were quite a few times when the laughter was so loud we missed some of the dialouge! Sandra Bullock was great and based on what I have read about the real character she was dead on with her poytrayal of Mrs. Thouy. GO WATCH THIS MOVIE! You will feel better after you see it.
