Although I knew the story of Michael Oher long before this movie came out, I was afraid to see it because I thought Hollywood would ruin a very inspiring story. I was wrong! The story ebbed and flowed just as it did in real life. Every time you thought we had reached that Happy Ending, something bad would alter the story line. Eventually, through unbelievable acts of sheer kindness and inner strength, things work out for everyone involved. This movie will make you want to go out and help someone!
I conceded to watch this movie with the girlfriend on date night only because some of my upcoming movie picks are waaayyyy out of her league. Surprisingly, after watching this one, I am much more open to her picks in the future. Really funny and romantic, I found myself more involved in this movie than I would have anticipated. I had a really good time last night!!! Guys, go with your girls...you won't be disappointed.
