User Comment: jeremyscates from United States, 20 November 2009 • I don't usually feel the need to leave comments, but this movie was just to well done not to. I went in expecting more football, more hits & highlights & as a huge football fan that was one of the main draws of the movie. The football actually takes a back seat to a wonderful story that is well executed by everyone involved. I've always thought Sandra Bulluck has been over-rated, but she nails this role & deserves some recognition down the road. The movie is so fantastic that anyone and everyone can relate and feel connected to the characters. The ideal target audience for this movie is children and adults alike. This movie should be an Oscar contender but I know these types of movies rarely ever win. Definitely deserves my vote!

Summary: Very well done!

[CSW] -3- Although I would have liked a more in-depth look at what was going on inside of Michael Oher's head it was still a touching story. There seems to be some kind of blind numbness that takes over for some people in unusually prolonged and harsh conditions if that person is unusually good. I don't have any idea if during that time they themselves can know what they are thinking or feeling. Regardless this is an unusual and unusually touching story that shouldn't be missed.
