Review of The Blind Side (2009) by Luke R — 31 Dec 2012
A very enjoyable movie with the potential to be even better if it wasn't for a couple of minor issues.
The acting in this movie is almost flawless. Sandra Bullock is excellent and her Academy Award was well deserved. Tim McGraw was solid as Sandra's other half, but one of the main issues was the child actor playing "S.J" - who was just way over the top and went way too far (and therefore taking away a lot of believability from the movie).
Quinton Aaron is also quite good, as Michael Oher. A very good performance from a relative newcomer.
Other than the above "S.J" issue, it is a hard movie to fault. However, I felt the movie could have had a bit more grit and a bit less cheese.
This is a movie I would recommend almost everyone sees.
