One might want to dismiss "The Blind Side" as just a phony feel-good story in which an African-American youngster from the projects is rescued by idealistic white people and given a bright future. In this case, however, the story happens to be true and it's mighty involving and entertaining, even if director/screenwriter John Lee Hancock lays it on a little thick.
