Review of The Blind Side (2009) by Chris M — 06 Jan 2013
A homeless African-American teenager is taken in by a white family (led by Sandra Bullock) and eventually becomes a professional football player in the sports drama, The Blind Side. The fact that this was based on a true story doesn't impact me in any way since I found The Blind Side to be just as believable as a fictional made-for-TV movie.
On top of the fact that the script is too formulaic to the point where the drama disintegrates completely, the teenager's story not only gets completely sidetracked by Bullock's character (who is subliminally demanding an Oscar with this role), but he also comes off as a mostly mute bore.
What in the world was going on in the Academy member's minds when they approved of Oscar nominations for this mess?!
