Overrated.

Rating: 6/10 (24 May 2010)

Sandra Bullock stars as a welcoming mother in The Blind side, an overrated but yet good film. When The Blind side was coming out, I never wanted to see it.Sandra Bullock was the only reason I would've given this a chance.Then it came out.I read bad reviews.But yet everyone harassed me for months with "You gotta see The Blind side it's amazing!". Then, I saw it. Did it blow my mind? No.But I still liked it.
The Blind side is a cute movie. But it didn't deserve the two Oscar nominations it received. Sandra Bullock maybe but not best picture. Brothers is a movie that deserved some credit. Everyone saw this movie,nobody saw that movie. Trust me, it was better.
The Blind side is the true story of a guy named Michael Oher(played by Quentin Aaron),a homeless African American. One night,he is taken in by Leigh Anne Touhy(played by Oscar winner Sandra Bullock). They don't know much about him.But they eventually make him a member of the family.
The Blind side, for me, mainly worked do to Sandra Bullock's performance. I know she didn't deserve it and so did she.I mean i love her but Gabourey Sidebe was so much better.And so was that movie.I believe that she deserved the Oscar for Crash. Though she did a great job.
My problems with it: I think the other actors(or some of them) don't do a very good job.Since when did Tim Mcgraw become an actor? Really? I mean I know they are supposed to rednecks. Another problem is that it felt too long for me and it was occasionally kind of cheesy. But what can you do? It's an inspirational sports drama. Though it's not as good as Remember the Titans, and flawed,I still give it a thumbs up.
The Blind side:B+
