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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

This is a very positive and feel good movie whose real strength is that it is based a true story. You would say "Implausible!" if it wasn't for that. Sandra Bullock is ageless in this and her acting chops are as good as ever. Quinton's role does not involve a lot of dialogues but he conveys everything with his eyes and expressions. If you liked Lion, Wonder or The Green Book, you will like this one too.

If I'm tepid about everything here, it's for good reason. This movie doesn't even really warrant a real response. All the drama is forced, predictable, and interchangeable in the plot. It works just well enough to make this watchable. Unlike something like Remember the Titans which has a solid cast, this is devoid of anything of note.

A good film that is based on a true story which makes it so much better. Makes you think about life just because it does happen in the real world.

Great story of persevering strength and hope. Sandra Bullock is wonderful in this coupled with the fact that this is a true story makes this film a must watch

Entertaining though sappy and now soured by revelations from Oher regarding exaggerations in the movie and the portrayal of his characters. Should have been much more obvious looking back

This appears to be Forrest Gump playing a lineman instead of a running back. Its sappy and unbelievable (which is bad for a true story).

Too formulaic. I thought the acting was unconvincing. Very typical Hollywood 'inspirational' biography.

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.

I can't rank this movie very high because I'm sick of girls telling me about how their mom's are just like Sandra Bullock in this movie.

I liked it just fine when I watched it because it was nominated for Best Picture. I still find that nomination baffling, but it wasn't the MOST baffling nomination of 2009. It was trite and by-the-numbers enough that I don't really feel the need to ever see it again, but I don't begrudge Sandra Bullock her Oscar, either (even though she absolutely should not have won over Carey Mulligan).

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.

Another totally overrated entry in the subgenre: Rich White Family Saves Poor Black Man from the Perils Wrought by Institutional Racism. The film's popularity critically and commercially in America speaks volumes about our actual state as a "Post-Racial" Society.

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...
