The Blind Side was a very touching movie filled with good messages and good role models, and the main character was truly inspiring. I would very much recommend this movie, though there is language and a scene of drug use, which might be inappropriate fr younger viewers. As a teen movie, for kids 11+, this movie rocks!
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!
Love it, it is a movie that you just can't miss.
This is a great story and the cast was perfect for the job.
I think that the movie scent a great message that people from the Projects are just like people from the city, and anyone can accomplish anything!
Exceptional Job, 2 thumbs up!
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.
Best movie of 09 Sandra Bullock Deserved the oscar win
This was the probaly the best movie of 09 with the likes of Mr,fantastic Fox.It is trulay a sad movie.One last point Sandra Bullock deserved the oscar win.
I never got a chance to see The Blind Side in theater, and watched it On Demand. It was amazing. Leigh Ann teaches pre-teens and teens some lessons, and there is an abundance of good role models in this movie. However, there are some not-so-good people in this movie. Michael's mom is a crack addict...which would go way over kids' heads. There is some violence at a gang hang-out, involving guns and fistfights. Michael's flashbacks may be scary for some kids, too. There are some sexual references that some kids would not understand. There is language, too, that includes a-words, b-words, d and h words. Michael gets into a car crash with S.J. and they show S.J. with blood on his shirt who makes a funny comment about it. This is an inspirational movie that all of the family should see.
im not bothered by the drinking, violence and language-in fact that is what makes the drama and emotions so amazing!! although some kids might be scared, it sort of depends on what your parents want you exposed to, not really age. it was very moving and such great actors! tim mcgraw and sandra bullock were amazing as parents! leigh anne and michael (big mike) are the main focus of the movie. there is some racist content, but in a way that people can learn from. its very, very good. my family bought it right away!! thumbs up from me, along with the country! great for all families :)
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.
I loved this movie. its like the best story ever. but there is a little cursing and some mild talk about "sex". there is also many gangs show. there is always some kind of alcohol in their hands. this looks like a boring movie but don't judge. its great. little ones probably shouldn't go to this one.
Great movie some violence but otherwise its great.
I saw this with my dad and LOVED it. It is a great movie and dosent have too much violence. However it has some swearing and slight sexual content and violence such as someone being rammed into a wall in football. But the main character always does the right things. P.S SJ was hilarious!
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.
When i saw the preview, the first thing that popped out of my head was "watch the movie asap"
and i did.
i have to say that it has loads of suspense, and it was very touching.
i just love it
I looked at the reviews for the blind side and it got 3 stars I disagree. The blind side was a touching story and wasn't a trashy movie like some movies I have seen. I think the Blind side had a great message for younger viewers and is now one off my all time favorite movies.
Most of my classmates went to see this movie b4 Christmas break, thinking, such a lame name, who'd want to even see this. I was totally blown away, and I know my classmates were too. Touching movie, a little colorful on the language part, but all together good. They got characters that actually looked like the Touhy family and Michael Oher. By the way, Sandra Bullock got an Oscar for her performance. Way to go, Sandra!!!! :) Ugli Chic
I APSOLUTLY LOVE THIS MOVIE! I just got done reading the review I have no possible figment of an idea how it could "gloss over deep issues." It was a 5 starin my view. Sandra Bullock did an increadible job. Such a good message! My top movie pic! :D
This was a truly beautiful movie. I would encorage everyone to see it because I cried at the end. My only concern is that most of the African Americans in this movie are portrayed as drug addicts or unsuccesful people. Over all I loved it and went i=and saw it in theaters twice.
The Blind Side is a great movie. I know I rated it on for age11 and up,and I'm only 9 but it had some heavy stuff in it. The movie has quite some swearing in it but the words aren't really really terrible, but aren't good.There is one scene I didn't watch but could hear.That scene involves drugs, and violence. There is another scene where they get in a car accident but all you see is the car smash. Later you see the main kids arm covered in blood and the other kid with dabs of blood on his shirt and lip.That is isn't too bad.Other than those two scenes it's perfectly fine.There is some humor.It has a great message. I think people should definitely watch this movie.
the story is very good but there is a iffy bar scene and some language like a** d**n and h**l so skip the bar scene if watching with kids eight and under
but also very inspirational
