The Blind Side --- Viewed with Open Eyes! :o)
I went into the theater with little expectation, thinking I was going to see a sappy movie with my wife and kids. Thank goodness that New Moon was sold out. We chose to see The Blind Side. After watching the movie, I left the theater with a little more bounce in my step and some additional warmth in my heart seeing how there are still people out there who care for others, not just themselves.
The story line was phenomenal, and more impressive, it is based on a true story. I believe this made the film that much more touching and personal. The acting was very good as well. Sandra Bullock was brilliant, as was Quinton Aaron who played Michael Oher.
It is a pleasure to be able to go to the movie theater and watch a movie that is for the WHOLE family. We have 17 and 14 year-old boys and an 11-year old daughter. Everyone enjoyed the move and were thoroughly entertained. The movie runs a full 2 hours, but I never checked my watch and none of my kids were shifting in their seats.
