The Blind Side review #2 (3 ½ out of 5) - It’s an exceptional story – almost hard to believe.

19 November 2009 9:58 PM, PST

There are certainly some eye-rolling cornball moments in the trailer for The Blind Side. “You’re changing that boy’s life,” says a friend of adoptive mother Sandra Bullock. “No, he’s changing mine,” she answers back predictably. But The Blind Side is the opposite of a movie where the only good stuff is given away in the trailer. While I knew which lines would make me roll my eyes, I don’t think I rolled my eyes any other time. The Blind Side may be a corny story, but it’s also a true story. And it’s a story well-told. Football fans who watched the 2009 NFL draft learned the story of the Baltimore Ravens’ Michael Oher (and they later read it in the book The Blind Side: The Evolution of the Game by Michael Lewis). Oher was an inner city black homeless teenager in Memphis who was »

The Blind Side review 1 (3.5 / 5) - The very definition of a feel-good sports movie.

19 November 2009 9:52 PM, PST

The Blind Side” is the very definition of a feel-good sports movie. Some jaded folks will find fault in this film, but most will be sucked into the inspirational story. The best part of this tale is that it is based on a true story. The title refers to the side where the quarterback can’t see the defender coming to get him. This is the left side for a right handed quarterback. The left tackle soon became one of the highest paid positions because of this key role of keeping the quarterback upright. “The Blind Side” follows the plight of Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) through his tough high school years in Memphis, Tennessee. Oher had a difficult family life with his father out of the picture and his mother addicted to crack. Aaron does a remarkable job with this tricky role. He has to show vulnerability, while also displaying toughness and grit. »
