Quotes:
[first lines]
Leigh Anne Touhy:There's a moment of orderly silence before a football play begins. Players are in position, linemen are frozen, and anything is possible. Then, like a traffic accident, stuff begins to randomly collide. From the snap of the ball to the snap of the first bones, closer to 4 seconds than 5.
[video rewinds]
Leigh Anne Touhy:One-mississippi - Joe Theismann, the Redskins quarterback takes the snap and hands-off to his running mate. Two-mississippi - it's a trick play, a flea-flicker. And the running back tosses it back to the quarterback. Three-mississippi - up 'til now the play's been defined by what the quarterback sees; it's about to be defined by what he doesn't...

A homeless youth finds his place with a generous woman and her family, and discovers a future he never thought possible. Wonderful, is the best way to describe what this film is. The production team brought their A game to this drama. Direction and cinematography really grabbed my attention, especially during the football games. All actors delivered believable performances, with Sandra Bullock and Quinton Aaron shining above the others. The story is based on the real life events of, now rookie offensive tackle, Michael Oher, whose life is changed by interior designer and mother Leigh Anne Touhy. The writers did a really good job of delivering their story and kept great flow throughout. I felt inspired by the film as I'm sure you'll share after experiencing the lives of this unique family.
