The movie is very familiar -- you've seen it all before -- but it succeeds at achieving its modest goals.March 25, 2010
Quite how Sandra Bullock deserved an Oscar for her one-note turn as bleached supermum Leigh-Anne is a mystery, since it transforms a potentially worthwhile character study into a grandstanding star vehicle.November 24, 2009
Its superficiality keeps it from being the moving story it could have been.January 24, 2014
The movie is done with crispness, vigor, down-home humor, and an over-all tang of good feeling, but the pushing of buttons is the work of extraordinary calculation.November 24, 2009
However obvious, The Blind Side is touching -- despite its habit of dropping major character notes into the melody without warning.September 30, 2011
Football may the thread that runs throughout, but the movie is much more interested in the tale of how Oher left behind a life of poverty, violence and foster-home despair to become a champ on the gridiron.July 05, 2011
A living tribute to fundamental Christian motivations, although the point is hammered home with an extraordinarily soft touch: Love thy neighbor.July 21, 2012
Serves its purpose by making the audience tear up in some moments and cheer in others. It's a total button-pusher, but it does so in a very good way.August 02, 2012
It's certainly a heartwarming tale and Bullock delivers a big, ballsy performance as the indomitable Tuohy - but Oscar-worthy? What were they thinking?April 04, 2011
You're going to be crying by the end.January 24, 2014
As a fable about the power of giving, it hits pretty hard.November 24, 2009
Oherâ(TM)s life is meant to make us feel good, and it mostly does. But how good we feel about his story is proportional to how blind weâ(TM)re willing to be about how itâ(TM)s told.
