Michael Oher is a homeless African-American teenager who is from a broken home. Mike is taken in by the Touhys, a well-to-do white family who help him fulfill his potential. At the same time, Oher's presence in the Touhys' lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of their own. Living in his new environment, Mike faces a completely different set of challenges to overcome - as both a football player and student. Mike works hard and, with the help of his coaches and adopted family, becomes an All-American offensive left tackle.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

The Blind Side submitted by tree64 on June 3, 2010, 4:46pm Nice movie. Kind of touching. Only reason its PG-13 is for bad language.

Football for anyone submitted by nlemerand on June 23, 2011, 10:26am If you like football you will love this book about Micheal Orr because it's his story about life through football.

Very touching submitted by Isa on June 23, 2011, 4:14pm I love this movie and it touched my heart

Love it! submitted by nfrassrand on June 24, 2011, 10:51am bad language, a little bit of violence. I loved the movie, but it isn't for little kids. I would recommend it though.

The Blind Sind submitted by TripleH123 on June 26, 2011, 7:10pm Heartwarming Movie. If you like football you will like this movie, but don't let little kids wacth it because it has drugs, mild violence, and some bad laguage. But it is still a great movie. (PG-13)

BLIND submitted by honordenver on June 28, 2011, 9:11pm Great movie not for kids but still good movie. Their is only a little violence toward the end but their is some language throughout the movie.

Feelgood movie submitted by pmysore on August 16, 2011, 11:33am I loved the movie, but the book is better, especially for Football lovers

best movie ever submitted by imracom on July 3, 2012, 12:33pm touching, sweet, and wonderful!

Touching Movie submitted by andreahubert on July 14, 2012, 6:34pm This was a very touching movie. Good for the whole family.

overrated submitted by ftan on July 16, 2012, 9:15pm this movie was supposed to have excellent acting. i preferred the book. the acting was only so-so and their weren't a lot of football references. i think it would have been cool and better if they'd had the actual mr. oher playing the role of himself.

great submitted by steelersfan1 on June 16, 2014, 7:54pm great

More than sports submitted by Judeyblu on June 16, 2015, 9:23pm I waited five years to watch this, because I remember when it was being filmed ion Borders. I thought it would be too hard to see.
Instead, it felt just right.

Great submitted by kelleyc on July 2, 2016, 8:42am A wonderful, touching movie.

Love! submitted by cmegane on June 23, 2017, 6:49pm I love this movie! Sandra Bullock is fantastic. A good mix of football and heart-warming moments. This is one I can watch again and again.

The Blind Side submitted by Clown81 on July 26, 2019, 9:16pm Great movie. Fantastic cast.

The Blind Side submitted by crp on August 22, 2019, 12:51am Touching, based off a true story

Heartwarming! submitted by gem on August 31, 2019, 7:22pm This was a very heartwarming movie. I liked the way the mom stood up to others so the needs of her son could be met. Never mess with mama bear! The movie also shows that some things can't be done for you. You have to step up to your challenge. But it is so good to have others walk with you as you step through each challenge.
