The Blind Side - A Review

Ben Witherington reviews The Blind Side. He writes:

You can count on the fingers of one hand the number of memorable football movies there are out there in which there is actually some decent acting and a good plot. When you add the requirement of it being a true story, there are even less to choose from (e.g. 'Radio'). It was then with considerable skepticism that I went to see 'The Blind Side', taking with me my best Missouri attitude (i.e.-- 'show me!'). Part of the skepticism was because this movie starred Sandra Bullock, not noted for her Oscar winning performances in the past. Let me just say--- I didn't see this coming, was blindsided by this movie. It is not only a thoroughly enjoyable movie based on a true story, Sandra Bullock actually deserves to be nominated in the best actress category for this film. Who knew she had it in her? Not me at least.
