I agree. I saw it in the theater and just rented it off Netflix last week. A co-worker of mine (who is originally from Tennessee) says a friend of her mother's knew the Touhys and she said "Sandra Bullock absolutely nailed the part."
A well deserved Oscar, Golden Globe and Peoples' Choice Award for Sandra Bullock.

It hasn't played where I am yet. Can you give more information about why it was good? Or why it is worth seeing? It doesn't seem like the kind of movie I might usually pay to watch.

It's supposedly the true story of American football player Michael Oher. Some say that parts of the movie were fabricated to "add more drama" but the basic premise of the movie is that an affluent white family in Memphis takes in a homeless black teen (Michael Oher) who has the potential to be a great football player.
A better description from Yahoo! Movies:
Michael Oher, a homeless African-American youngster from a broken home, is taken in by the Touhys, a well-to-do white family who help him fulfill his potential. At the same time, Oher's presence in the Touhys' lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of their own. Living in his new environment, the teen faces a completely different set of challenges to overcome. As a football player and student, Oher works hard and, with the help of his coaches and adopted family, becomes an All-American offensive left tackle.
