This movie was incredible. I’m not sure there are enough good things I can say about this film. It’s an easy movie to just sit down and enjoy with the whole family. Or if you’re a guy who cries easily, watch it alone.
Sandra Bullock’s character is unstoppable. From the minute she came on the screen, I was convinced she was some kind of superhero. The fact that she is based on a real person just made her that much more amazing. She is a force to be reckoned with. I couldn’t wait to see how she’d handle the next situation she was put into. The kid who plays S.J (Sean Jr.) is just stinking cute! All the actors are wonderful, and yes, that really is Tim McGraw, the country singer.
Okay, let’s talk about the story for a moment. It was great. This is a solid family film, about a strong Southern mama who does not let prejudice dictate who she invites into her home. It is about love and acceptance and a family coming together to help build up the courage and self esteem of an outsider. And this boy, played Quinton Aaron, is the biggest marshmallow you’ve ever seen on screen. In a nutshell, I am pretty sure I walked out of the theatre thinking I should adopt the next kid I saw walking down the street in the rain. And keep my fingers crossed they have amazing athletic potential. It has a lot to do with football, which I know nothing about, but I don’t feel like I missed anything by not understanding what position he played on the team.
So if I haven’t said it enough by now, or maybe I wasn’t clear, this movie is a must-see! It’s got comedy and romance and a fantastic story that will leave you smiling (and crying). Hope you like it as much as I did!
