Synopsis:A homeless African–American youngster from a broken home, Oher (Quinton Aaron) is taken in by the Touhys, a well–to–do white family who help him fulfill his potential on and off the football field. At the same time, Oher‘s presence in the Touhys‘ lives leads them to some insightful self–discoveries of their own. Living in his new environment, the teen faces a completely different set of challenges to overcome. As a football player and student, Oher works hard and, with the help of his coaches and adopted family, becomes an All–American offensive left tackle.

A great family watch! 40 out of 100
This is just one of those films that everyone can enjoy no matter your age. Its not a perfect film but provides light entertainment with a bit of comedy thrown in and a moral perspective. I would describe it as a feel good film as you can't help but say "aw" once you've watched it.

Enjoyable fare from Ms. Bullock and Co. 40 out of 100
Hollywood have always had a knack of making a true life sports story into a good film that wasn't full of smaltz. The Blind Side is no different. The acting is solid all round and the storyline for the most part is enjoyable. There are some scenes that are a little too sugary but thats par for the course. I didn't expect to like this film as I am not a huge Sandra Bullock fan, but I did enjoy The Blind Side and I feel it deserves an 8/10.

Lovely Family Film 45 out of 100
Lovely film that all our family could enjoy, 3 children aged 13, 10 and 5. Big Mike is fostered by Sandra Bullock + her family and great film for family to watch who have any experience of fostering or adoption. Happy Ending, based on a true story.

Recommended 40 out of 100
Was not expecting much from this movie - but it was actually very good. Well acted. Good story line and of course based on a true story. Would recommend.

Avoid 5 out of 100
This movie is awful. Although based on real events, the story line has been rehashed a thousand times... and in this case it oozes with Disney cheese - the director never misses a chance to sprinkle a straightforward plot line with Saccharine. The initial Christian undertones which guide the script are replaced by a Republican sensibility about half way through the movie. It's hard to say which is more hared to stomach. The lead character’s aspiration to be a member of the National Rifle

Inspiring 35 out of 100
A ery upbeat story, and Sandra Bullock gives a geat performanace. A little too sentimental in places, but if your not a fan of American football, this is still very watchable and gives a great insight into the sport.

A true story...... 50 out of 100
Well when it started I thought did I order the right film? by the end, I laughted, I cried, overall a very enjoyable film. I loved Sandra Bulllock's character she was an inspiration. I didn't know this was based on a true story. Yes, rent this one!! It would make you think about your own choices in life!

Feelgood 40 out of 100
I'm probably the only person on the planet who diden't know it was based on a true story until the credits rolled. It is a truly inspirational story and Sandra Bullock was outstanding.

Exactly what you would expect 35 out of 100
There are no surprises here. This is a feel good movie that does exactly what it says on the tin. Very good, but it doesn't veer much from the straight and narrow.
