My husband and I went to see Sandra Bullock’s new movie, The Blind Side, last night. She’s one of my favorite actresses – so if she’s in it, I’m there. This was probably her best performance ever and was one of my favorite Sandra Bullock movies… heck, it was one of my favorite movies, period.
I love for a movie to have a great time – and this one most certainly did. I also love for a movie to touch my emotions and move them. The Blind Side moved me the way Michael Oher moves members of the opposing team!
Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw are flawless as Leigh Ann and Sean Tuohy. Sandra Bullock is better than ever, in a role that could easily have been overplayed, overdone, and overcooked. She delivers a perfectly understated, dead on, wonderful performance. I didn’t know what to expect from Country superstar Tim McGraw, but he isn’t Country superstar Tim McGraw in this movie… he’s actor Tim McGraw, who also happens to sing. The casting department took a big chance in casting him in this role and he didn’t let them down one bit. He nailed it. As a fan, I was thrilled.
Young Jae Head (Hancock) is a scene stealer in every sense of the word as the Tuohy’s youngest child. He is absolutely adorable and provides many of the film’s laughs. Quinton Aaron (Michael Oher) is also outstanding in a role that he brought so much heart and soul to. I can’t wait to see what’s next for this young man.
A lovely new face, British actress Lily Collins, plays the Touy’s daughter (Collins) in the film. There’s something about this young lady that reminds me of another one of my favorite acttesses, Keira Knightley. That – needless to say – could serve her very well!
You really have to see this wonderful movie – you’ll be so glad you did.
