If Frank Capra was still around, director John Lee Hancock might have had to fight him for the job.

Sandra Bullock takes the proverbial ball and runs with Leigh Anne Tuohy, the honey blond spitfire of a well-to-do Southern wife and mother.

John Lee Hancock's julep-sweet screenplay pretty much turns the book's measured account of Oher's story into a feel-good fantasy for white liberals.

I am not a football fan (baseball is my sport) but I loved it!!! So many great performances by the actors. A charming story with laughs and tears.

Rotten Tomatoes
Hancock’s movie feels like an overly schmaltzy Disney production. All the realism of the story has been replaced by heavy sentimentality.

I have just returned from seeing The Blind Side. It is rare to see a movie that relies on drama to carry it - just a story that resonates with the viewer.
