The Blind Side

Warner Brother Pictures

(Producer)

Sandra Bullock, Tim McGraw and Oscar winner Kathy Bates star in Alcon Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures "The Blind Side," which depicts the remarkable true story of All-American football start Michael Oher.

Teenager Michael Oher is surviving on his own, virtually homeless, when he is spotted on the street by Leigh Anne Tuohy. Learning that the young man is one of her daughter's classmates, Leigh Anne insists that Michael - wearing shorts and a t-shirt in the rain - come out of the cold. Without a moment's hesitation, she invites him to stay at the Touhy home for the night. What starts out as a gesture of kindness turns into something more as Michael becomes part of the Touhy family despite the differences in their backgrounds.

Living in his new environment, the teen faces a completely different set of challenges to overcome. And as a family helps Michael fulfill his potential, both on and off the football field, Michael's presence in the Touhy's lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of their own.

"The Blind Side" is directed by John Lee Hancock. Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw star as Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy, and Kathy Bates stars as Michael's Oher's dedicated tutor, Miss Sue. Quinton Aaron is introduced in the central role of Michael Oher. "The Blind Side" also stars young actors Lily Collins and Jae Head as the Tuohy children, Collins and S.J.

"The Blind Side" has been rated PG-13 by the MPAA for "one scene involving brief violence, drug and sexual references."

Dove Family-Approved for ages 12 and over.

What's This?

Amazingly Inspiring - redemptive love of God - Amy - 6/6/2010
I cried (good tears) throughout this whole movie. Afterward, I prayed that someday God would give me the opportunity to help someone as much as Leigh Ann helped Michael Oher. This movies is probably not for younger children (PG 13) because it gives a real picture of the harsh background that Michael came from. However, the rough scenes are not gratuitous. Showing the pain of Michael Oher's background only serves to emphasize the renewing and transforming power of God. It is a redemption story that teaches how God's love, when put into action by us, can change a life forever.

There should be more main stream movies like this! I highly recommend it.

The Blind Side - Dawn - 5/15/2010
This movie is an aspiring movie of how a Christian family took care of an orphan boy who was abandoned and let down by the system. Rated PG-13 for one scene involving brief violence, drug and sexual references, and one scene with moderate profanity. "A PG-13 rating is a sterner warning by the Rating Board to parents to determine whether their children under age 13 should view the motion picture."

I laughed out loud; I cried; I remembered why I became a teacher or troubled youth. I was inspired to continue to encourage and teach children who have had difficult beginnings.

not for my family - l - 4/5/2010
This is not a family friendly movie, if you seek to fight for holiness in your life be careful about showing this to your family.

Crude or Profane Language - Leigh Anne does not approve of swearing. "Don�t use the a-word," she tells her husband. But she didn�t edit the screenplay for The Blind Side. Onscreen, we still hear "a‑‑" a half-dozen times, "b‑‑ch" and "h‑‑‑" four or five times each, "p‑‑‑" once and "d‑‑n" two or three times. God�s name is misused a handful of times. "T‑t" is said a couple of times. The racial slur "n-gger" is vocalized once by one of the thugs.
