I didn't know this was based on a true story until they started showing real pictures at the end. lol I thought to myself, well how about that!
The movie stars Sandra Bullock who plays Leigh Anne Tuohy. She is happily married with two kids, a son and a daughter. They are pretty rich! They take in a homeless black boy whose had been staying whereever he can to stay warm, including the school gyn and laundry mats.
Michael Oher (played by Quinton Aaron) shows potential in sports but his education has suffered. Before he can legally play anything he has to bring grades up. The Tuohys hire him a private tutor (played by Kathy Bates) and they work and study.
Meanwhile the emotional drama continues as Michael is torn between the white woman raising him as one of her own and his real momma who is shown to be a crack whore with so many kids she doesn't even know them all let alone keep track of them. Most are being raised by the state. LeighAnne and her husband file to legal adopt Micheal who, if anyone knows the real Michael Oher, graduates highschool, goes on to play college ball and ends up as the star left tackle for the Baltimore Ravens.
