The Blind Side is a movie starring Sandra Bullock. Blind Side reviews say you will leave with tears in your eyes and heart. If the movie is rated by tears or stars, it would get an A.

The movie is a tear jerking inspirational true story. People are saying you will laugh and cry with Sandra Bullock. The Blind Side is a pretty unlikely story, yet it is true. Add in Sandra Bullock and you may have a hit.

The Blind Side is the story of a poor black young man, very large in stature, named Michael Oher. Sanda Bullock plays a charitable mother of a well-off white family, Leigh Anne Tuohy. Leigh Anne brings home Michael and helps Michael find love, and a career in football.

Eventually, Michael became an NFL lineman for the Baltimore Ravens. I have not seen this movie, but want to so I have been reading the reviews. According to what I've read, the movie is less about Michael Oher, and more about Leigh Anne Tuohy and her family.

Some critics have a problem with this, saying the film should be more about Michael. But other critics say the story of Michael Oher is too remarkable to ignore. And although Leigh Anne is the main role, when it's played by Sandra Bullock, you really can't mind that it's more about Leigh Anne than Michael.

Sandra Bullock has had a pretty good year, with a big hit in The Proposal, but she did have poor reviews for All About Steve. The Blind Side makes two hits out of three, this year. The Blind Side reviews are 70% positive on Rotten Tomatoes, which says “It might strike some viewers as a little too pat, but The Blind Side has the benefit of strong source material and a strong performance from Sandra Bullock.”
