November 6, 2009The Blind Side is a truly inspirational, true story that leaps from the real-life annals of its history onto the big screen with effortlessness and comfortable familiarity. It is a film that we've seen in one plot form or another, but somehow feels genuine and poignant despite it...( read more)

November 23, 2009The Blind Side is based on a true story about Michael Oher. I became interested in this movie since they first started showing previews, because I'd heard about him before the '08 draft, and had read about him. The movie is a little off when compared to the real story, but it's a...( read more)

November 19, 2009Great movie, something for everyone, it's funny, serious, sports minded and emotional but not over done in any category. Good for kis and adults alike has good values but could have too much violance for under 13.

November 24, 2009This is a good movie,but it appears the director might have a problem with the N.A.A.C.P. ;or perhaps, an 'over zealous' worker of the N.A.A.C.P.(in truth,I would have fired her ass if I was her boss.I'm talking about the N.A.A.C.P. worker) Yet, in life,we find workers like her i...( read more)

A movie made up almost entirely of turning points and yet curiously devoid of drama or suspense. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
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

Armond White, The New York Press
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 !
