I think they did. Listening to the woman talk to Big Mike is really hard to watch. She is being a big ***** and he is just sitting there not knowing what to say.

Oher was moved to left tackle. Previously I believe Gaither was there left tackle. He wasn't really any old slouch either.

Glad to hear I am not the only one. I thought the message of the story was great- and they meant very well- but the actual movie was not good.

It was one of those movies where they did anything they could to sell tickets. The whole story should have been about michael oher, but instead S. Bullock was the main character. She totally overtook the movie with the super-macho all powerful mom figure. Shes hot and tough and influental.. so viewers like her.

Of course they had to throw in some songs from linkin park or w/e so all the teenage kids would think it was a cool movie. Then throw in waay too many jokes and unnecessary characters and you have yourself a contradictory movie. Was it a drama? Or was it a comedy?? Was it about football? They tried to do all three- and it didn't work.

Couldn't they just tell the story as it was??? Its an amazing story- so don't **** it up with all the hollywood BS

Really? Horrible comparison.

This has become my favorite movie of all time since the first time I watched it, amazing movie, amazing story, and having sandra bullock in it didn't hurt either. SJ rocks!

Favorite movie of all time? Is it the only movie you've ever seen? Because that would be the only explanation I would accept.

The whole movie is BS. Ole Miss payed that family and set forth the process of them adopting him.

Sorry to burst your bubble. It is VERY DISNAFIED

Can't state how disappointed I was in this film. Just rented it last week and after all the good things I had heard about it, I was shocked at what a poor job of storytelling was done. Great story and material, but it was done in a simplistic over done almost cartoonish style. Every turn you could see coming from about 5 minutes out and many parts were not believable.

Check out "The Program." Pretty sure that's right up your alley.

You truly are "that guy" aren't you? Some people do things like that, especially those with money that can afford it.

I think it is adorable how naive some people are.

I'll take naive over cynical any day.

The nicest thing I can say about The Blind Side is that Lou Holtz and Nick Saban's acting was almost as good as Bob Knight and George Raveling in Blue Chips.

The football scenes fell somewhere on the quality scale between the TV shows 'Against The Grain' and 'Friday Night Lights'. If they improved the football scenes a bit, it might make them movie quality, like, say...Necessary Roughness.

To be fair, the dude that played Michael Oher was awesome as Precious.

Can someone tell me where I can take one of those "Protective Instinct" tests?
