Script written for children

Rating: 3/10 (19 January 2016)

A huge disappointment, I'd looked forward to seeing The Blind Side due to it being a star vehicle for Sandra Bullock who I adore and the fact she won the Oscar for it. Oh dear! I'll make a point of avoiding any more films by this director. It was simply that it seemed written and acted for children aged about ten, roughly the age of Sandra's little boy in this film. Being English as I am, I had no clue that this was supposed to be a true story till the end credits which made it even more cringeworthy. Even giving this three stars is probably generous but that's based on the fact that I found it mildly entertaining (not realising it was supposed to be a true event) and Sandra Bullock is so gorgeous. The acting, apart from her, is atrocious. The little boy, who apparently was capable of completing adult quality business deals, was quite amusing in the part up to the point I finally realised he was supposed to be real. I watched Mike Myers' Cat in the Hat only yesterday and this was about on a par with it. Enough said.
