Movie: Blindside

Me and the wife just getting home from the movies and I noticed the football movies thread. I'm surprised to see no threads for the movie Blindside. If you like the football movie "Radio" you'll love this one. An awesome movie!!! I wouldn't want to ruin it for anyone and won't. But, with spring scrimmages right around the corner and with tons of snow outside there's not much to do...so do yourself a favor and check this one out. Well worth the $$$. And, it's CURRENT...no more hints. Enjoy!

I watched it this weekend, and liked it. It is a little simplistic - but I would say maybe old fashion.
Big criticism - the officials are portrayed to be idiots. Mechanics when they are in the background are not so great but can be lived with, but when they are involved in the story it is to have them be bad guys.

Frankly, my freshman English teacher (in high school) would have expected more of this critic.

Why would you make a comment if you haven't seen the film. The critic was spot on with his analysis of the movie even though it was a great "Story" it should not be advertised as true!
