This movie was great, and heart warming

The movie looked like it was going to be boring the first five minutes but did a 360 after a few minutes. It was heart warming, loving, full of action and funny. It is one of the best movie I have... Full review

OK, OK, so I was your typical reviewer who saw the trailers to "The Blind Side" and expected another football movie where a "one-in-a-million shot" with a lot of heart goes on to win the Super Bowl or national championship. And,... Full review

A homeless youth finds his place with a generous woman and her family, and discovers a future he never thought possible. Wonderful, is the best way to describe what this film is. The production team brought their A game to this... Full review
My take on the Michael Oher story
Nov 15, 2009
Chris-538 - imdb.com
I'm a sports snob. I strongly believe there's only a handful of truly great sports movies. It's just too difficult for filmmakers to recreate the drama that takes place on the field. So when the Creative Loafers at sportschump.net asked me... Full review
Wonderful message but bad approach
Nov 15, 2009
Mortel Legendre - imdb.com
I managed to catch a preview of the so called inspirational football saga THE BLIND SIDE. Based on a true story, the message tells us, regardless of what horrible background you have in life, what sort of set-backs, you can push... Full review
I have just returned from seeing the blind side. I was pleasantly surprised by the movie, particularly it's more poignant moments. Yes, this is a sports story, yes this is a biopic, but it is also in large part an interpersonal... Full review

But not all films with that set-up are condescending....As The Blind Side reviews make clear, the movie is a full-on, tear jerking inspirational true story, to get out all that white guilt.....Not that there haven't been egregious examples of films in which the beneficent white person plays savior to the beleaguered black person..... ...

The Proposal" gave her (and that "All About Steve" threatened to kill) with "The Blind Side," a surprisingly smart....The movie's a pretty conventional feel-good sports drama in many ways.....Bullock gives her best performance in years in service of a John Lee Hancock ("The Rookie") film that's about compassion, empathy, family....McGraw gives sturdy support.... ...

Bullock makes her iron-willed matriarch strong, sexy and likable....there's no need to spoil it for everyone else.....It's inspired by a feel-good true story of interracial adoption and gridiron glory.....Nearsighted though it occasionally may be, "The Blind Side" makes a strong case for the emotional rewards and social justice of helping others less fortunate..... ...
