    We saw this movie on Christmas Eve. I suppose some may consider it a bit manipulative or overly emotional or something. I don't care. We all thought it was great. Two thumbs up.

    I am not a big Sandra Bullock fan, but I enjoyed her character/acting in this movie.

      ha. To add to the bullshit factor, that was a samoyed puppy, which would have certainly been too heavy for the eagle to whisk away. It's not like a rabbit or even a maltese. Those things are heavy duty animals.

        Apparently I'm not the film critic some of you are. Just saw this and thought it was fantastic. One of the best movies to come out recently. Sandra Bullock did a great job and Tim McGraw showed he can act as well. I will own this one.

            I'm right there with you. I don't get hung up in the intricacies of hair an lighting, and I generally hate any film that doesn't make me laugh. My two requirements: Make me laugh and have a happy ending. Beyond that, I don't care if it's a chick flick or a sports flick.

            Blindside met my requirements for a good movie. Moreover, it conveyed a good message about Christlike love and service. I'm not ready to invite landpoke over for dinner yet, but the movie did make me want to be a better person. Two thumbs up.

                  Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                    Agree. WC is a chick flick parading as a dick flick.
