Current Top 10 (#5)

The Blind Side

A disadvantaged teenager is taken in by a conservative family who see tremendous promise in the young man. Despite certain obstacles, the attention and inspiration he receives helps him mature into an athletically and academically successful NFL prospect.

"The Blind Side" tells a nice, human story about a family that takes in a homeless teenager and helps him realize his dreams - "realize" in both senses of the word. At the start of the movie, this young fellow is so pressed by the demands of daily existence that he has no ambition except to stay warm and survive. But once he has a home, he starts looking at the world and discovering what he can do and how far he can go.
