And the winner is... The Blind Side. It's a feel-good, based-on-a-true-story family flick about Michael Oher's journey from homelessness to the NFL by way of his adopted family. Based on the book by the always-worth reading Michael Lewis, the movie stars Sandra Bullock (not, shockingly, as Oher) and surprised many U.S. box office watchers when it had a $34 million (USD) opening weekend and has gone on to pull in more than $180 million to date. They say it could be Bullock's highest grossing movie yet which, for anyone who saw Speed 2: Cruise Control or Forces of Nature, must come as a TOTAL shock. The film also eclipsed the blood-sucking, teen romance juggernaut "Twilight: New Moon" by its third weekend, thanks to an eclectic mix of Christian-focused marketing and people who didn't really feel like drooling over shirtless teenagers who turn into wolves and/or the undead.

If you haven't seen the movie yet or don't plan to, do yourself a huge favour and crack the CliffNotes of the story here, when Lewis wrote about Oher in 2006 issue of the New York Times magazine.
