Entertaining and heartwarming but ultimately nothing more. The acting was fine, not Oscar worthy, but not poor. The little kid was a distraction and could have been toned down a lot. This film handled race relations and the NCAA controversy in much the same way by simply accusing anyone who questioned the motives of the family of being either racist or mean spirited and I think that is pretty dishonest.

This movie was made for impressionable idiots. The acting is about what I expect from a Sandra Bullock movie - terrible. Everyone is awful and unbelievable. Manipulative in the worst kind of way. Emotional scene - *cue sappy emotional music*. Ugh, I can't stand that. The climax was beyond awful, I laughed pretty hard at that. Yes, after beating up a bunch of armed gang members you should just stand there and close your eyes. Hey genius, try running before they wake up and cap you.

This story that is based on the real life of a successful NFL player is a captivating and hopeful film. Sandra Bullock commands the film as she plays a generous mother who teaches morals of the importance of staying strong for those who you call family. This type of story has been told many times, but in this particular film one is left with hope and a refreshing sense of what a family unit can conquer together when determined.

The Blind Side, in my personal opinion, is the best movie I have ever seen. The movie is based on the true story of Michael Oher being taken in by the Tuohy family after living on the streets. The Tuohys displayed the true kindness in their hearts by accepting Michael as a part of their famiy, and I think the movie portrays that well. This movie is appropriate for all ages, genders, and is just an all around great film!

If only every large black prospective football player from the projects had the charity of a sassy white Christian woman. Final act implicitly criticizes those who had the gall to throw this family's motives into question. Tellingly, Quinton Aaron, whose character the movie is ostensibly about, earns third billing; his six-and-a-half-foot presence barely registers.

Would've made a good doc. Surely the real people this story is based on r far more interesting. Bullock's brass balled Christian conservative (w those qualities diluted for mass-consumption) whose near super-heroic abilities 2 make every drunk redneck and thug warlord back down from her strains credulity. The film feels like a fascinating true story about intriguing people w/ strong opinions you might disagree with that's sugarcoated over in favor of fictional inspiration u can swallow easily.

A heartwarming story that combines both sports and the importance of family, The Blind Side, tells the story of NFL player Michael Oher. A tear jerker at times, the somewhat predictable plot does not draw away from the message of the movie. Sandra Bullock's Oscar winning performance sets her as one of Hollywood's premiere actresses.

What do you want to know ? Is it one of those sappy, predictable, inspirational movies à la "Remember the Titans", "Freedom Writers", that I find hard to recommend as a whole ? You betcha !!! Bullock's alright I guess, but it's not worth running to the theaters for. Obviously, this movie wouldn't be complete without an annoying brat. This movie pussied out big time.

Just because Bullock wasn't awful and just gave what anyone else would call a normal performance doesn't mean you should win an oscar. I found the comic relief aka the little kid to be a nuisance. Far too formulaic and scenes just seemed so unbelievable. Lame inspirational football movie that doesn't do anything memorable.

Accomplished filmmaking craft blown on a cloying, saccharine screenplay. How did this film manage to make a true story so predictable? Manipulative and condescending in equal parts... Not even Sandra Bullock's Oscar-worthy performance can save cliche'd lines like "I'm not changing his life, he's changing mine."

The movie has taken an unfair beating by the critics if you ask me. This is partly because it with its two Oscar nominees has been moved up in a league where it simply doesn't belong. The movie is a sweet simple disneyesque movie. If a great movie like The Maltese Falcon is a meal that satisfies all your sences, then The Blind Side is the junkfood you eat when you feel sad. It is not good for you and it doesn't give you any nourishment, but while you are eating it, you are enjoying yourself.

Due to the size and color of the main characters, comparisons between this and "Precious" will probably surface. At least this one succeeds without manipulating the pity factor. Weak points are the mercifully abbreviated parade of NCAA football coaches and the over the top little kid, but they are more than made up for with the rest of the casting, including Sandra Bullock's endearing and best performance of her career. It's a touching story, but it's not artificial, it really happened.

Story started nicely and now I understand why they gave Bullock an award. The part was well written. But everything what was build in the beginning, crumbled to the mediocre in the latter half. Collins was a doll face, but the young kid I hated from my guts. Guys, guys, guys! What is this "American football"? It has nothing to do with kicking the ball: they run around with the ball under their arm!

It carefully toes an inoffensive line that runs through a gridiron of race, poverty, and education, ending up teaching us nothing about these important topics because it clearly wants to appeal to as wide an audience as possible. That's why they cast Bullock, who gives a convincing and charismatic performance, but did NOT deserve the Oscar. There's an uplifting story buried underneath the underdog-movie cliches and overly sweet Disney-esque Christian coating, but that's a lot to suffer through.

Man, Criticker is really not happy about Bullock's Oscar win. The movie is definitely sappy and there isn't a ton of artistry, but it did get me in the feels several times and that counts for something. I think both Aaron and Bullock give strong performances that make this work. Aaron's gentle naivete is what the whole thing really hinges on.

This may be loosely based on a true story but it's cheesy and recycles every single sports movie cliche. Oher's hilarious depiction is that of a big black Forrest Gump who can play football. There was also a fairly patronizing tone about race relations which felt dishonest. They also had to put in an unbelievable action sequence involving gang members. Sandra Bullock is alright but it's difficult to see how her usual career woman acting role deserved an academy award.

I don't know why I still love Sandra Bullock so much. Although she made terrible career choices in the past, she definitely nails it here. This is undoubtly her best performance yet. I disagree it's a tear-jerker movie. Yet it has moments but can't say they are manipulative. Movie is really impressive, however I'm not sure if this is derived from director/writer's success to tell a good story or the story itself is already touching since it's based on factual events.

Leigh Anne isn't the easiest of characters to play. Bullock does a decent job with it but that this movie got a single Oscar-nomination and even won her Best Actress is frankly mindboggling. My personal dislike for inspirational tales and sugarcoated drama aside, the dramatic beats, social commentary, humour and attempts at "Aaaawww, how sad..." moments are all equally unskillfully and/or carelessly done. To quote Mrs. Tuohy: Shame on you.

Quinton Aaron was great, and Bullock did well with her role. I liked the focus on the characters rather than the football. However, one has to wonder just how much of this film was pandering to the real people it's based on. I almost wish it had been pure fiction, so we could have seen some more human flaws in the family. Still, the emotions were very real and the film left me feeling warm and fuzzy, which was the point.

I like that it's a sports movie that is hardly a sports movie, and that it goes into the issue of kids being manipulated into sports. I don't think it packs the emotional punch it was going for, and I really don't see why Bullock's performance, while she does make you root for her, was Oscar-worthy at all.

The Blind Side was a wonderful remake of a recent book. It takes you through the life of Michael Ore, an abandoned hood boy that turned into a professional football player. Perfectly portraying Michael's struggles and hurdles, the movie is awe-inspiring. This movie will bring both tears of sadness and joy and truly puts your life into perspective.

A truly "uplifting" tale in which I genuinely felt up lifted (not the "uplifted" where you're balling your eyes out, but instead the smiling and with a sense that there is good in the world uplifted). Very well acted (way to go Sandra!) and a witty, sweet script. What I really loved was that this movie could have chosen to be dark and depressing, but that wasn't the focus at all. A great blend, and a great film!

Sandra Bullock was right--her acting in this was terrible. Her winning the Best Actress Oscar is testament to Hollywood's ever-expanding capacity for self-congratulation, rewarding films it sees as "socially conscious", no matter how offensive and patronizing that "consciousness" may, in fact, be.

Bullock is quite good, not Oscar good, but she carries "The Blind Side" well enough. Its first half is considerably stronger than its second, which suffers from stupidity & a simple lack of interesting moments or plot points. There no real skillful filmmaking on show either, with characters thrown in and pulled out of the narrative at will in a clumsy & lazy fashion. Ultimately "The Blind Side" amounts to nothing more than a nice uplifting drama, with several flaws & a lack of quality in depth.

Cliché and formulaic doesn't begin to cover it. Every moment of this is predictable, every beat. There are standard plot arcs, and that's sometimes just how it goes and can still be enjoyable, but this goes beyond that. If anything surprises you in this movie, you haven't seen enough movies. I like seeing people do nice things for others. But I don't like cinema that's so bland and unimaginative. The best you can say about it, including Sandra Bullock's performance, is that it's competent.

Insignificant by its design. One of the many Hollywood manufactured uplifting fairy tales about poor kid 'making it'. There is hardly any conflict in the story, it just shoves fake happiness about humanity. It's almost criminal this movie gets so much attention, and the fine, realistic film Sugar (2008; Ryan Fleck), that deals with very similar themes, goes almost unnoticed.

After finally seeing this, the thought I'm most left with is that the Academy really needs to reevaluate the meaning of the words: "Best of the Year." Sandra Bullock, by far delivers a career-best performance, but certainly not awards-worthy. And to name this film one 2009's ten best pieces of cinema is just straight-up mind-boggling. The film is enjoyable and solid...were is a made-for network TV movie. It really has not a single scrap of cinematic originality or profundity.

Soft warm cozy sports story from the maker of The Rookie, Hancock. Bullock stays obstinately on the surface of her role, and Aaron is touchingly minimalist as Michael Oher, a future first-round NFL draft pick. Very late in the game a couple of aspersions are cast on the motives of Oher's adoptive parents, aspersions which, if shown to be even fractionally valid, might have made a more interesting movie.

Its hard to rate any biographical movie. If you ignore the fact of it being biographical movie, it is just old wine in a new bottle - underdog comes on top. That left aside the movie is entertaining, it is all about Sandra Bullock. I dont believe she deserved the Oscar, her performance at best was on par. The movie starts of well but tapers downwards pretty fast after the first half.

The movie is straight-up, mainstream cheese, the scenes all have the same rhythm that leads to a monotonous feel throughout, and Sandra Bullock is clearly doing her best Julia Roberts as Erin Brockovich impression to win the Oscar. That said, the film is emotionally "reserved" enough to avoid completely falling off the cheese truck, and the still photos at the end make a huge difference. This is the kind of overly-sentimentalized story I would roll my eyes at were it not for those photos.

It's easy to lump this in with a lot of "sentimental, feel-good" films we've all seen, and dismissed, but I've got news for you: This is a damn good film! - I agree with others who say it's probably Sandra Bullock's finest work yet. But also, it's extremely well shot, editted, and directed, and features great supporting work from the rest of the cast, too. (Would make a great 'Double-Bill' with this years PRECIOUS...)

This movie has lots of mixed reviews (at least here on criticker) and its easy to understand why. There are plenty of negatives, but I feel they get out weighed by the positives. Sandra Bullock may not have deserved an Oscar, but she wasn't an evil unrealistic harpy that can't act as she is in other movies and some would have you believe also applies to this.

Awfully sappy and tear jerking, and the saddest part is that it needn't be so. It's a very compelling story, well acted and decently paced, and all around well made, except for the annoying reliance on unnecessary music cues that show a lack of confidence in the film making. There's also some obvious whitewashing and oversimplification of underlying social issues but those are more of a missed opportunity than an active negative.

I loved this movie! It's rare to see Sandra Bullock in a serious role, but I really liked it. Not sure if the actor playing Michael Oher was supposed to be so expressionless, or if that WAS his character. I was pleasantly surprised at Tim McGraw's acting chops. Some great comedic moments in a feel-good drama. Made me wonder about the kindness that Bullock's real-life character (and family), Oher's teachers showed, and whether I could do the same.

Decent for the first hour and when I expected it to get better, it got much worse. Bullock was awful, almost as bad as Jae Head.

I know it is based on a true story but if you know the true story... there is a lot of sus white saviorism here.

It got to me a bit, okay a lot, at the beginning and the end. The middle bit was paced a little poorly but the actors all did a good job.

I thought this movie was funny, heartfelt, and touching. Sandra Bullock did a great job! As for Quinton Aaron, he did a fantastic job. I thin this is the only movie i know of with him in it. This movie had clever writing, and i thought it had pretty good casting. Overall i thought this movie as pretty good.

I am not one to fall in love with sports movies but this movie is a real gem. The Blind Side shows how compassion can really lead to wonderful things in people's lives. Sandra Bullock did a fantastic job in this film playing the very southern mother. For those of you thinking she didn't deserve an Oscar for this role, probably didn't watch this movie. I thought she was absolutely perfect. Quinton Aaron was also great as the lovable giant football player Mike. This is just a really cute fil

I didn't expect to like this one, but it surprised me. That is is a true story makes it that much more poignant.

it's hard not to feel for the boy... and Quinton Aaron is really what makes this movie work, not Bullock... but let's face it, this was ridiculously naive most of the time.

A little over-hyped during the Oscars, but its not one you should miss. Sandra truly does deliver an unforgettable performance.

Enjoyed the training with little Jae Head, that kid is awesome! Whole story very refreshing and uplifting. Bullock a little bit better acting than it used to be. Go girl!

Heartwarming movie based upon a true story. Loses points for stealing from Remember the Titans' playbook.

This is ho-hum stuff, but Sandra Bullock, with her deft comic touch, makes this better than it has any right to be, restraining the sentimentality with delicacy and good humor. Kathy Bates phones it in.

W2E1P1S1V1M1A1R1. Agree with some that if this had just been hyped as Disney family fun instead of Oscar fodder, it would not have seemed so offensive. Because as a Disney Channel Original Movie, it would have been a cut above. But in a Best Picture competition, it's derivative, cliche garbage.

Sandra Bullock commands your attention while newcomer Quinton Aaron grabs your heart in this sappy inspirational movie about family, hope, motherhood and football. You know exactly where this melodrama is heading, but you want to go along anyway. The Capra-esque vibe is infectious, and these two actors are an unstoppable force even in such manufactured studio formula (even though it is based on a real-life story).

A terrible film not the least bit worthy of Academy accolades. This is a glorified ABC after school special with an extremely linear plot. Not only that, the movie perpetuates bad stereotypes. The real Michael Oher was very unhappy about his portrayal in the movie as a dope who couldn't do anything until a rich white family saved him...
