An Oscar-baiting biopic that's less about Michael Oher (who's a supporting character in his own story), and more about giving rich, white ladies a chance to pat themselves on the back.

Based on the true story and yes this is a true story of Michael Oher, an overlooked young African-American who was taken in by the Touhys who provide him an education and groom his natural talents in football. This movie was heart warming and excellent on some levels during the film, the acting was great and the writing was good to.

This was a pretty good sports movie. True-stories are always a good way to start out a sports moive, especially when a story is as compelling as Oher's. I cannot stand Bullock in the movie as she chewed through the scenery, this is in part to what the writers gave her, but still. Also, was interested to see this movie go into NCAA regulations and procedures. This is a must-see for football and sport fans alike.

I don't care for these sports dramas based on an actual story, because of the usual cliches and forced nature that most of them fall into. After seeing this, my view hasn't changed. But I did find some things to like here. Namely Bullock and Aaron's acting. Everything else was mediocre.

After adopting an African- American, Leigh Anne Tuohy didn't know she is not just changing a man's life, but also hers. *** Very touching and heart-warming. Sandra Bullock, indeed, made this film filled with love. The story based on true story is irresistibly good and really moving. The movie tackles not just one issue, but the film showed it as if everything is connected and that life isn't just life if you live it with love, regardless of the color of skin and the family they came from.

After watching so many of these same type of sports feel good movies, I expected The Blind Side to be just like all the others but it was actually pretty good

Although Sandra Bullock gives a striking and commanding performance, my main problem with the Blndside is that it does not contain any conflict and, thus, the tension or emotion derived from the film is greatly lessened.

I really don't think this film deserves as much praise as it gets. Its really just an above average sports film riddled with cliche after cliche that tries way too hard to tug on your emotional strings. It simply isn't that great of a movie. Still, not bad.

I enjoyed watching Sandra Bullock in this movie. Not a great movie, the story was good, but I thought the acting was more of what made the movie what it was.

I'm not a sports fan but often watch sports-related movies for the human interest/inspirational angle. I really enjoyed this movie and Sandra Bullock was great. This movie was over 2 hrs but didn't feel long. I may have to read the book now.
