This movie gets an extra star for being based off a true story. The movie itself is predictable and cliche as are the characters and I question how much of it was true to life, especially with the exuberant younger son training the gigantic football player. While I do agree that Sandras acting was great in this they don't really develop her character enough. This is more a tall of a snipit of time for these people and your left without really knowing much about them, or why they do the things they do. If this movie hadn't been based on real events it's just about as cliche as they come, poor black boy gets a chance encounter with a rich white family and changes himself, and the white family for the better.
