In a Nutshell: Based on Michael Lewis’s nonfiction book The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game, this inspirational drama revolves around the fate of homeless African-American youth Michael Oher (played by Quinton Aaron) and the wealthy white Southern mom (Sandra Bullock) who takes him in, enrolls him in school and, ultimately, helps him become a football player good enough for the NFL.
Rated: PG-13
For You: We got weepy during the trailer.
For Kids:It's an important lesson about the good that can happen from good will.
