Death, Dumb and Blindsided

Rating: 2/10 (21 November 2009)

That is my experience with this misguided film. No problems no struggles, ask and you shall receive whether you earn your success or just handed it for no good reason. This film makes American Idol look like the "Elvis" story. Entitlements on steroids. Sandra Bullock's bad accented character has not sense of responsibility for protecting her family but instead becomes a proponent of correcting all of the social injustices of the world singlehandedly. Of course a few Erin Brocken. strategic moves succeed with flying colors. "If you want to make fun of me, I can buy an overpriced lunch salad much closer to home" she tells her weekly bridge group at lunch. Why would anyone want to be friends with this self righteous woman? And she brings an over-sized street kid into her home on a whim not knowing if he is a gang banger, perhaps a threat to her cheerleader daughter or perhaps endangering herself, her meek hub and her dwarf son. Van Jones would be proud of this, even if this wasn't an interracial story. Of course the obstacles are few and good in this movie triumphs over the "It's a small world after all" good in this film. She lives in a mansion, never seems to have a job except for being Mr. Blind Side's personal assistant and everybody loves her. She's like "The New Kid In Town" of Don Henley fame. Ladeda, Obla De Obla Da life goes on Blah, life is a "bed of roses". Success without hard work just find some rich lady who is bored and you won't even need Simon Cowell. Parents please tell your kids this movie is all a Hollywood Fantasy, and read with them for the 2 hours and 8 minutes you will waste on this bad use of silver oxide! Save your money, you will need it to pay for Obamacare or your next hybrid "green" vehicle. Don't support nonsense preachy garbage like this. Sandra Bullock get a new Agent!
