Good movie but not what was expected

Rating: 6/10 (18 June 2013)

I was curious to watch this well-praised movie "The Blind Side" for the role in which Sandra Bullock got her Oscar award. Although her acting was good and this movie is based on a true story I was not impressed by this one. If I had not known that was a real story I would think of this one to be another fake American dream-based movie where a main character had life full of deprivation and abuse, but then a fairy came and changed it to a fabulous one. While watching I recalled another movie I watched several years ago called "Radio" with Cuba Gooding Jr. and Ed Harris that was also based on a trues story of a mentally retarded boy who ended up as a support guy to the High School football team. The plots of these two movies are similar to some extent but I liked "Radio" more. Watch both and then you can decide which one you like more.
