Movie Review: The Blind Side

Overall, a pretty enjoyable movie experience. It was a feel good, kid rises from poverty story and that’s what I expected it to be. All the reviews focused on how well Sandra Bullock did in the movie and I’d have to agree with them, she fit the role of a driven, tough southern woman pretty well. It was a fun movie to watch, and a great movie if you’re trying to appeal a wide range of people (parents, guys, girls, etc.). Quinton Aaron who played the character of Michael Oher did a good job, but didn’t seem convincing in the most “dramatic” part of the movie. There weren’t many highs and lows in his character’s emotions, but maybe that’s what he’s like in real life, I don’t know. Jae Head who plays the little kid in the movie was great. He came off exactly how I would imagine a kid in his position would, and he played the role of coach/pseudo-agent perfectly. I’d recommend seeing it, especially if you’re looking for a holiday movie for the whole family.

On a side note, if their house looks like that from owning Taco Bells, I’m gonna start buying some franchises! Dayumn.
