What a waste of my time!!!

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The Blind Side, which came out in 2009, showed the struggles of a young blank highschooler as he integrated into a more white society. Michael Oher is a very protective and lonesome teenager who, due to his financial problems, lives from place to place without a real home. One of his teachers, Leigh Anne Tuohy, sees Michael after school, walking on a road. When Mrs.Tuohy asks michael if he has a home tonight, Michael confesses he does not, and Mrs.Tuohy graciously takes him in as one of her own. Throughout the movie, Michael learns how to express himself and learn to love those around him. Many movie critics loved the movie and Joe Leydon even described it as, "Uplifting and entertaining feel-good, fact-based sports drama.". The Blind Side scored a 67% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 82% in good reviews from movie goers. When I saw the Blind Side, I was touched by the kindness of other people's actions and inspired me to be more open when talking to people and not initially judging at first glances. The acting, while it showed enough emotion, was not as great as many other movies I have seen, it was well enough to advance the plot and help us understand the context of the movie. I liked the idea of the story and thought it was very heartfelt and definitely can make viewers emotional. However, due to the simplicity of the plot, there were many parts that were not as interesting or engaging in the movie. I enjoyed watching it but I do not feel the need to watch it again or suggest it to others.

If I had a theme, I would just say truly compassionate. Let me start out by saying I am a very masculine male who is big into sports, spent the first have of my childhood growing up in the projects, I can relate to Michael's(Quinton Aaron) upbringing. Though not to his extent. With that being said, this movie brought a tear (one tear) to my eyes seeing the compassion that Leigh (Sandra Bullock) and her husband Sean (TimMcGraw) showed this young man who had been abandoned my his drug addicted mother. The way Mike bonded with Leigh's children, S.J (Jae Head) and Collins (Lily Collins) was great. Although Mike was a big kid, he was very gentle. Remember the scene where he told Leigh that he did not like being called Big Mike. Also, the movie had religion in it as the school accepted Michael based on their religion principles. Also, the way Sandra reached out to find Michael mother was very impressive. This movie had it all, compassion,drama, sports and religion. It made me appreciate the good in people and I truly want to pass this on. Maybe if more people felt this way, the world would be better.

This movie is a must see! Its heart-warming story and great actors are surely credible for its success. Michael Oher, a troubled child, was taken into care by Leanne Tuohy, an Ole Miss grad and donar, and was given a home, family and a better life. This care allowed Micheal to do what he loved, and succeed. Based on a true story, this movie tells the story of a kind-hearted family who helped make someones life better. We can all take away from this movie, and learn to care more for the less fortunate and help to make the world a better place.
