Sandra Bullock Tackles 'The Blind Side'

'The Blind Side' may look like a football film, but it isn't. It is really the story about the remarkable real-life Tuohy family from Memphis and how the love and support they express for each other changes their lives – and the life of the teenager they adopt.

"The sport is the metaphor for this family," says Sandra Bullock, who stars as Leigh Anne Tuohy. "A family unit doesn't work unless everyone is working together. A team doesn't work unless everyone is working together. It is about family, prejudices and calling people on their stuff."

"I think first and foremost it is a human story," says Tim McGraw, who plays Leigh Anne's husband, Sean. "The story behind this is so heartwarming."
