The Blind Side | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Deborah Ross The Spectator This is a horrid film, and I hated it, and while, I suppose, you can't argue with a true story, you can always argue with the way it is told. Aug 30, 2018 Full Review The Blind Side | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online ... I must say that I doubt I'd like the film as much had it not been Christmas and just a plain ole good family flick to see with my mom. Rated: B Sep 12, 2017 Full Review The Blind Side | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Richard Brody New Yorker The movie is done with crispness, vigor, down-home humor, and an over-all tang of good feeling, but the pushing of buttons is the work of extraordinary calculation. Jan 24, 2014 Full Review The Blind Side | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Hancock’s movie feels like an overly schmaltzy Disney production. All the realism of the story has been replaced by heavy sentimentality and scenes that play to audience expectations. Rated: 2/4 Aug 30, 2023 Full Review The Blind Side | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Richard Crouse Richard Crouse There's too much emotional manipulation and huge problems seem to get solved a little too easily for it to be 100 percent believable, but it is an entertaining movie anchored by two very good, but very different actors. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 31, 2021 Full Review The Blind Side | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The plot of uncommon human kindness and charity is a formula for box office success and reasonable entertainment, but the execution is incredibly conventional. Rated: 6/10 Nov 28, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
