My Movie Review: The Blind Side
By Wade Durham
Sandra Bullock stars in this great biopic about overcoming poverty. The Blind Side is based on a true story, and theres a lot of truth to it. Many times sports films have come out identical to this with inspiration and a lot of feeling to do it, so in my experience in seeing the film I felt like I was seeing something that i've already watched. The story dragged for a bit but whenever the drama kicked it...it kicked hard. Bullock plays her character down to every detail in a very passionate performance, which makes since with all the recent Oscar buzz she's been getting. The cast works together well and while the films never really stops and makes you say wow it is still very inspirational and very well done. The Blind Side is no over achiever, theres nothing new to be seen here, nothing original. Completely predictable storyline, however it seems like the basic inspirational sports drama story still works well. This is based on a true story, and while the true story is at sometimes quite interesting it can drag and get dull at times. A nice musical score is added to the film to spice it up, but it doesn't quite give it what it needs, in the end The Blind Side was a good movie experience, would I suggest seeing it? Only if you had spare time on your hands.
3/5 Good Review.
