Saw it this weekend. The shows were sold out! It was very good and I understand the movie mirrors the actual story pretty closely. Sandra Bullock looks great as a blond.

I just saw it last night....great movie! The theater I was in people were sparse.
When it comes to movies, I'm your typical man. I hardly get scared during scary scenes, I don't flinch nor jump. I rarely get "touched" by a film.
But this movie pulled at my heartstrings like no other movie I've ever seen. :'(

good writing and Sandra Bullock = good movies
-
Everyone I've talked to who has seen it says it was really good. My brother as well. I don't know.....I've seen the previews but it just has zero appeal to me for some reason. Is it really that good?
-
The irony is that the real Michael Oher, who plays for the Baltimore Ravens, didn't like the movie at all.

If you're not interested based on the previews, then you probably will come out of it thinking it's just "ok".

Really ??? Did he say why?
The actor who played him had to lose 100lbs for the role :o and he's still HUGE.

Some rich family takes in a poor, troubled black kid and he goes on to be a multimillion dollar professional football player. Haha.......if that's an oscar worthy movie nowadays Hollywood standards have sunk really really low.
Now if the poor, under served black kid would have gone to college, become a doctor or some sort of scientist, activist etc. and went on to help other poor kids etc. etc. I could see an amazing story. But poor black kids growing up to become professional athletes...........that's a dime a dozen story.

I read something a few years ago that kind of parallels what it looks like this story is about...it was a true story.

I saw an interview with him and he said the one thing about the movie he didn't like was that it was portrayed he needed to "learn" the game of football, when in reality, he said he had been playing it since he was a kid. He didn't have to "learn" it. He was somewhat insulted by it, but that's all.

Exactly right. I shouldn't have said earlier that he didn't like the movie at all. That was the only thing he is quoted as saying that he didn't like.
