Okay, so going into this movie you should know that it is about REAL people and that their lives weren't easy - so that's where the warning for bad language, bad role models, sexual (very lightly) implied, and violence come from. I went into this film explaining to my child that some people actually live like this, and that this is their reality. I also hi-lighted the positive role models in Micheal Oher's story who "choose" to help him and therefore probably change the whole course of his life for the better. Positive message that one person can make a difference and by doing so make things better.

Inappropriate references in this movie that I noticed that you haven't put down. The family is a great role model though!

This movie really is THE BEST! No- its better than the best! Who is rating these movies? WHO???? ITS FIVE STARS! I loved it. I actually did cry and I laughed and it made me smile. But the people who rated this three stars ONLY, they have no heart! BEST MOVIE EVER! Thats a fact. There was a drug scene and lots of language, but it was amazing! An AWESOME family movie for parents who have tweens and teens. It's my favorite movie ever!

We watched this as a family with my 6-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son. Yes there were minimal disturbing scenes, but overall it was a great family film (very good messages). As far as the cussing, my kids know the words and know not to use them. That is not a huge issue for us. I thought the (very short) scene of Michael going back to hang with his old friends and acquaintances in a gang den was a good way to show what can happen when people choose the wrong friends. Things can get ugly & violent fast with people of low character. Kids need to know this. Whether you show them in a movie now or later is up to you. So for our family, it was a good discussion to have. The only reason Michael got out alive was he was so HUGE to overpower the people (armed with guns) in the room. And the couple kissing each other were the married couple (not the end of the world). Overall, great film, but you have to decide for yourself what your kids threshold is.

This movie was great! I loved it. Nothing negative; the violence was either self-defense or football. Michael was wanting to remain passive, so he was a good role model in my eyes, plus he was honest. The positive message was about Michael's success with all his scholarships he got. Language isn't so much an issue; bad words are talked about as bad in the actual movie too, and just about everyone 10 and older most likely knows what us males have between our legs, so it's not very innapropriate. I liked the movie alot even though I quit football a few years ago since i had thought it was violent (even though i laughed at some of my injuries to make my teammates feel better if they knocked me over), but just because i don't love football doesnt mean I did not love the movie. It was great for just about everyone.

has very positive message, teaching kids good values, recommend the movie for kids instead of them watching nonsense shows like "Hannah Montana"

The was a lot better and more entertaining than i thought it was going to be. The movie wasn't slow at all and was a mild but very powerful PG-13. The Blind Side delivers a pack of good messages like helping others in need, not giving up, forgiving, and the most important one is let go of the past and move onto the future. Besides this there some iffy content involving: some rough play on the football field (which may incoradge this kind of behavior to young boys as appropreate or cool.) , There is also a very tense scene where someone almost gets shot and there is lots of yelling and fighting (which kids under the age of 11 really shouldent see,) , On top of that there is some iffy language and some mild sexual and drug refrences. But even with all this the blind is a wonderful inspiring film for kids ages 12 and up.

Really Good Movie. It's about a lady who does what she thinks is right by taking care of a boy who doesn't have an education or a place to live, no matter what people think. She adopts him and he joins her family. This is an amazing movie and it shows the good that people can do.

Although there were concerns, as there are in any movie based upon a true story, my wife and I absolutely enjoyed this movie. It was a heart-warming reminder that in a world of racism, injustice, and government led poverty, there are still people out there who love others in spite of their own views, socio-economic background, or race. Of course, this movie had some really good football shots which touched my Neanderthal side. There's just nothing like football! The major concern I have is with stereotypes. In this movie any person of affluence is white. To my knowledge there were only two persons of color in any position of positive influence. My hope is that this is to better represent the world Michael Oher found himself in with "White Walls." No movie can touch on every subject and do it justice. This was a good representation, and hopefully quite accurate, of a kid with a need that was met by a person willing to think outside the box of her own upbringing and influences.
