This movie is insulting not only to the Touhy family but to theviewers. I should have known though, John Lee Hancock being theterrible director and writer that he is couldn’t deliver even a decentmovie worth watching.
Don’t see this movie, unless you have a Sandra Bullock obsession.

I just saw The Blind Side last night. As I have read even if you are not a football fan you’ll like this movie. I am not a football fan (baseball is my sport) but I loved it!!! So many great performances by the actors. A charming story with laughs and tears. How nice to have a positive movie this time of the year especially. Everybody MUST see this movie. Quinton Aaron does a fantastic job of playing Michael Oher. In the early scenes he has no dialog, but expresses so much just with is eyes and facial expressions. Jae Head is charming as the young “brother” S.J. Camped up I am sure, but I go to the movies to entertained which the movie does in spades! Sandra Bullock as I have never seen her before, does a wonderful job, so different that the other roles she has had in the past. And Ray McKinnon as the coach has some expressions that John Lee Hancock should be awarded for his direction.

I would not be surprised if "The Blind Side" and Sandra Bullock arenominated for Best Picture and Best Actress '09. It's a most unusualstory of how some of us really do take their Christian faith andobligations seriously instead of how many false money-grabbing prophetsand faith healers inundate us all. And needless to say those ChristianAryan White Supremacists as well. Come to think of it, this film mustinfuriate the latter to the supreme height of hatred and frustration.And it's a TRUE STORY TO BOOT.
Google Michael Oher and up will come info about his playing tackle forthe Balt. Ravens. This year is his NFL Rookie season. Just anotherexcellent prospect? Heck no, there's a beautiful story attached to theevolution of Mike. A story about a Memphis based Caucasian familyheaded by Sandra Bullock whose compassion is as limitless as thespaciousness of their mansion. Just the opposite of the stereotypicalSoutherm "red necks."
"Big Mike," a gigantic, lonely, uneducated African-American, istransformed, through love,understanding and compassion,into a literategentle giant by a family with great affection for the University ofMississippi. In fact we ask ourselves why Mike was never that crazyabout Ol' Miss being that he "hangs" with such loyal boosters.
Enough said. An amazing transformation occurs and that's it from thisend. By the way, an amazing job of acting is done by the young son ofSandra and husband played by Tim McGraw. The kid's name is "SJ" playedby Jae Head. A real up and comer.
