A film that would free your heart from all sort of negativeness and fill it with love and hope in humanity. It helps you to see the people who struggle around you, and makes you offer helping hands to them. A very nice movie with a touching story. Don't miss it..

This is definitely one of my favourite films of all time! the fact that its based on a true story makes the narrative of the film 10x more intriguing and interesting, it grips the audience well it did to me I was on the edge of my seat at points and then at other points I was doubting it convincing myself they were telling the story wrong. that's what grips us and pull us into the film, when we doubt that this can be real and we become almost entranced with the film and we feel like we know the characters on a personal level as we celebrate their wins and empathize with their loses. when Michael becomes part of the family it hits the part of you that celebrates the personal victories and strikes you when we realise just how deprived and ripped apart his childhood really was with him being moved from family to family and his mother being a alcoholic and drug addict. the film in its self takes you on ups and downs. I would with 100% recommend this film to anyone who hasn't seen it yet or is thinking about watching it. follow me on Instagram @gabewatling and send me your thoughts and own reviews!!!

This is my first rating ever, and i don't usually complain about racism but this movie takes the cake. Every movie/show I have seen in my life (save for empire) has been about ignorant, impoverished,hopeless black people who end up dependent on someone white to do the thinking because they're supposedly too helpless to help themselves. Or broke or lazy or some other stereotype, usually, the only thing we are shown as capable of doing is beating people, stealing, abandoning babies, and drugs-all of which describe every black person in this movie- stereotypes. Crap like this subtly implies how useless and dependent black people supposedly are. It is movies like this that set stereotypes that make it harder for us to get respect in accordance to our personal ability/personality. This movie pith me off, and of all the movies that could have gotten an Oscar, the one that insults the dignity of black people everywhere is the one that got it. Maybe I'm being overly sensitive. Maybe I'm thinking too much but i cant see this movie as anything but degrading, and surely I'm not the only one.

I have just finished watching this film for the third time since its release in 2009. It has some excellent acting, a lovely, true story and a great feel to it.Personally i am not the biggest fan of American football or this genre of film, but for anyone looking for a easy to watch, heart warming flick for the evening, you cant do much better than The Blind Side.Other similar titles that i would suggest include:Coach Carter, Money ball, and, of course, The Pursuit of Happiness!
