Leigh Anne Touhy: If you so much as set foot downtown, you will be sorry. I'm in a prayer group with the D.A.,
I'm a member of the NRA and I'm always packing.
Leigh Anne Touhy is definitely a woman you want on your side. She's fiery, passionate and compassionate and this film is based on her ability to practice what she preached. The movie is about a successful family with a strong willed mother and wife at the helm leading her children to do their best, do what's right and do the good thing. Shortly after being abandoned by his mother, Michael Oher, a big, strapping hunk of a young man from "the other side" of the tracks collides with Touhy's force of nature and the rest makes for an inspirational film. Yes, there is a lot about sports and some notable football people make cameo appearances in the film, but it's not all just about football. It's about doing the right thing for the right reasons and showing kindness for no other reason but to do just that. Sandra Bullock easily won best actress for her portrayal of Touhy and she earned what didn't come easily. Quinton Aaron as Oher blends the best mix of naive young man with street smart witness and is humble and soft spoken. This film is about values and morals and following the path of the righteous. It has just the right mix of emotion and determination which makes it a pleasure and an honor to witness.
