Amazon.co.uk Review
The Blind Side takes the true story of a young man who went from abandonment to success as a pro-football player and treats it with respect. The movie doesn't oversell what is, on the face of it, already compelling. It's almost impossible to describe the plot without sounding painfully inspirational: Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron, Be Kind Rewind), a hulking but gentle African-American teen in Tennessee, gets taken in by a well-to-do white family; the mother, Leigh Anne Touhy (Sandra Bullock), pushes and mothers the boy, who eventually wins a football scholarship to the University of Mississippi. In the wrong hands, this could have been maudlin, manipulative, and condescending. To the credit of writer-director John Lee Hancock, adapting Michael Lewis's acclaimed book, the result is intelligent, genuine, and alternately funny and moving. Leigh Anne could easily have been grandstanding and virtuous, but Bullock doesn't shy away from her vain and domineering side. The football scenes will be gripping even to non-sports fans because they've been so successfully grounded in Michael's emotional life. The all-around solid cast includes country music star Tim McGraw, pint-sized Jae Head (Hancock), and Kathy Bates as the tutor who guided Michael's academic success. Don't be surprised if you can't keep yourself from watching all the real-life photos of Michael, Leigh Anne, and the rest of the family that are featured in the credits; by the end of the movie, you will care about them all. --Bret Fetzer

5 out of 5 stars Excellent film   September 8, 2010
Mr. K. Wilson (London)
This film is fully deserving of all the Oscars it received. It is a heart warming film and even more remarkable that it is a true story. Sandra Bullock is superb as the lead character. I can't praise the film highly enough - Brilliant!


3 out of 5 stars The Blind Side [DVD] [2009]   September 7, 2010
Mr. R. J. Van Meeuwen (uk)
I did not realise how good an actress Sandra Bullock was till I saw her in this film!!

Definitely a feel-good film.

Heartwarming if a bit on the shallow side...


5 out of 5 stars A feel good film at its best   September 6, 2010
Carolyn Haslam (West Yorkshire, England)
This film is uplifting and heartwarming. Sandra Bullock at her best as the mother who won't take no for an answer.




5 out of 5 stars Sandra Bullock at her best   September 3, 2010
Mrs. Carol Elliott (Kent)
I saw this film first at the cinema and came away impressed, not only with the storyline but also the acting.
I have not always been a great fan of Sandra Bullock but this film changed my mind, she has a great supporting cast and Quinton Aaron, who plays big Mike is excellent in the role. A most enjoyable film with a great feel good ending. I would highly recommend viewing.


4 out of 5 stars Good film, worth a watch   August 23, 2010
Stephen McDonald (Scotland)
This film started slowly and had a rubbish "chick flick" look about and I almost didn't continue watching it, however I'm glad I did. After getting past the initial part of the film it actually turns out to be a very good and gripping film. Good cast who all play their parts very well.
