Sure this is another in the "Heartwarming, Inspired by a true story" cannon of films that we get an unlimited supply of every year, but very few just work on just about every level like "THE BLIND SIDE" does.

Heartwwarming tale about a suburban Tenneessee couple who takes in a homeless teen and how they change each other's life for the better. Given that plot, you'd expect an overly saccharine TV movie style drama. However, the action is surprisingly restrained in its sentiment. T...( read more)

I loved this movie on so many levels...The story is nothing short of amazing, and the performances were all top-notch.
If you've ever seen "Remember The Titans" and enjoyed it, I can almost guarantee you'll enjoy this. There's a dose of football here and there, but it's held to...( read more) -

Critic Reviews
A movie made up almost entirely of turning points and yet curiously devoid of drama or suspense. full review
If someone were telling you this story, you might say, "Wow. That's something." Even so, the narrative is not quite big enough to bear the weight and significance that writer-director John Lee Hancock... full review
Watching The Blind Side, I felt my emotions being stage-managed, but once or twice I got something in my eye. full review
Director John Lee Hancock's only aiming for a crowd pleaser, and by not challenging the established playbook for inspirational sports dramas, he's no doubt got one. full review
All Bullock's films promote an edifying sense of human experience -- she has an instinct for what people like to see -- and that gift makes The Blind Side the perfect, God-sent antidote to Precious. full review
Bullock may have found her Erin Brockovich in Tuohy, commanding the screen with grit and determination in an Oscar-worthy role if ever there was one. full review

September 1, 2009Saw movie tonite with Sandra Bullock in attendance - first audience to see the movie. Spoke to Director / ScreenWriter John Lee Hancock afterward, and he told me it was okay to talk about this movie - so, here is my rating - 5 star. However, I will provide no other comments until closer to the expected November 20th release date. It was, however, an uplifting story and an excellent movie. It got mostly excellent and very good ratings by the test crowd ! See it !
