The Blind Side is a truly inspirational, true story that leaps from the real-life annals of its history onto the big screen with effortlessness and comfortable familiarity. It is a film that we've seen in one plot form or another, but somehow feels genuine and poignant despite it...( read more)
Great movie, something for everyone, it's funny, serious, sports minded and emotional but not over done in any category. Good for kis and adults alike has good values but could have too much violance for under 13.
Saw movie tonite with Sandra Bullock in attendance - first audience to see the movie. Spoke to Director / ScreenWriter John Lee Hancock afterward, and he told me it was okay to talk about this movie - so, here is my rating. However, I will provide no other comments until closer...( read more)

Saw movie tonite with Sandra Bullock in attendance - first audience to see the movie. Spoke to Director / ScreenWriter John Lee Hancock afterward, and he told me it was okay to talk about this movie - so, here is my rating - 5 star. However, I will provide no other comments until closer to the expected November 20th release date. It was, however, an uplifting story and an excellent movie. It got mostly excellent and very good ratings by the test crowd ! See it !
