The Blind Side: Here Are Three Good Reasons Why It Is A Date Movie

Honey, I saw Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw on the view today. From a female point of view, Tim looked buff. I don't think it would be too hard for me to look at him for a couple of hours. I know you would enjoy the movie because Sandra Bullock looks so smashing in blonde hair.

Also, honey listen to this. I bet you didn't know that Director John Lee Hancock has football in his blood. His father John Lee, Sr., played for Baylor University, and his brother Kevin spent four years as a linebacker for the Chicago Bears (yahoo.com).

Since you love football, I know you will like this story of Michael, who was basically raised on the street. All of that changed when he met a rich family (the Tuohys). Leigh Anne Tuohy invited him into their home one rainy night and from that moment on, Michael, who'd never had a bed of his own or people to rely on, became a part of the Tuohy clan. With the family's help and support, Michael upped his grades and became a standout offensive lineman at Briarcrest Christian School. He was pursued by just about every major college, but signed with the Tuohys' alma mater: University of Mississippi. He currently plays for the Baltimore Ravens (Some information from IMDbPro).

So this is based on a true story. How exciting is that, Babe?

Honey, I even researched it on the Internet I found out 3 good reasons why this is a good date movie:

Though you might not peg this as a date movie at first, consider this: football + family = a heartwarming experience for guys and girls alike.
2 Sandra Bullock sets aside the "girl next door" image (and her brunette locks) to play a strong, sassy, sharp-toothed Southern mom.
3 The film is drawn from a true story featured in a 2006 nonfiction book by Michael Lewis, author of "Moneyball." (From Yahoo.com)

Oh yes, Hon, one more thing: I heard that although this is about football, it is a story about kindness and unconditional love.

Most of all, I think this has enough testosterone element in it that you would love the movie and like I said before, Tim McGraw looks pretty good.

I like Sandra Bullock! But with this mountain meadow we live in comes a tiny problem - once Mick leaves the city (where he works daily) he doesn't usually want to go back.... him.... will have to think of a way) Marijo
