In which the Monsters and Mister join me in reviewing THE BLIND SIDE (2009) currently streaming on HBO Max. Written and directed by John Lee Hancock, from the novel The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game by Michael Lewis, the film follows the story of Michael Oher (Quniton Aaron), who in his young life has faced heartbreaks and obstacles yet still soldiers on in a world who completely disregards kids in his situation. Enter the Tuohy's (Sandra Bullock, Tim McGraw, Lily Collins and Jae Head) who open up their home but more importantly, their hearts, and bring in Michael into their family. The film is rated PG-13 and clocks in at 2 h 9m. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
