What a Piece of Crap

Rating: 1/10 (13 March 2010)

I walked into this movie with high hopes. After seeing a wave of violent, depressing movies, (Precious, Hurt Locker, to name a couple) I was finally ready to see an insightful, uplifting, intelligent movie.
I was terribly disappointed.
The Blind Side was not only bad, it was offensive. It is full of melodrama, stupid clichés and unrealistic events.
Take the scene where Leigh Anne is looking for Michael and she is talking to the guys Michael just had a fight with, and she say, "You listen to me, bitch," and then goes off on an angry rant, and the guys just sit there and seem scared.
Yeah, right.
Another problem with the film is the way it treats black people. They are portrayed either as drug addicted monsters or as helpless, infantile idiots.
Two thumbs down for Blind Side.
