    BEAUTIFUL STORY!!!!!!

    by NYKMGR

    I am a sap with "poverty to positive" story lines... Especially those that are based on a true story.....

    I was misty in the beginning and cried on and off throughout. Very sad to know what this man went through and experienced in his early life - but cried tears of joy at the end.

    I loved it. SB's acting was superb! All of the other actors were great. Will definitely be purchasing the DVD.

    Btw, I disagree with other reviewers that this is good for ALL ages - it is not. There is some light drug scenes and sexual connotations. Also, the previews that are shown before this movie should NOT be seen by children under 12.

    The Blind Side --- Viewed with Open Eyes! :o)

    by jmb927

    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.

    I thoroughly enjoyed The Blind Side. It's a relatively simple story, yes predictable with all the potential to be sappy, but it's the simplicity that makes it work. By far, one of Sandra Bullock's best as a wealthy, outspoken yet caring women who takes in a homeless teenager and makes him part of her family. "Big Mike" is a fish out of water in a private school, dubbed sub par by the teachers, and looked upon with amusement by the mostly white student population, but there is more to Mike than anyone thought. During this holiday season it gives you pause to realize that one person can make a difference in someone's life, and it is well worth the journey.
