Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) knows little about family. Less about football. What the homeless teen knows are the streets and projects of Memphis. Well-to-do Leigh Anne Tuohy (Sandra Bullock) knows little about his world. Yet when she and Michael meet, he's found a home. And the Tuohys have found something just as life-changing: a beloved new son and brother. This real-life story of family and of Michael's growth into a blue-chip football star will have you cheering with its mix of gridiron action and heartwarming emotion. Share the remarkable journey of the college All-American and first-round NFL draft pick who was a winner before he ever stepped onto the playing field. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

Sandra Bullock's role of a lifetime. A strong mother with emotion, love, and courage. A beautiful story about how being great doesn't mean being confident. The first half of the film was very moving, the second half, when everything was all about football, was a bit weaker in my opinion.

The Pursuit of Happiness on steroids, only that instead of the stock exchange, we have rugby. It's clear that overweight middle-class Americans, who are blindly full of the right values, with a preference for the simplest and most understandable (i.e., literally as stupid as possible), loved this and went to the cinema in droves. But comprehensively speaking, this "how it's supposed to look" commercial has neither a dramatic arc nor a hallmark of realism. It's all too stilted, straightforward and uncomplicated, going for a simple level start-finish. But individuals who have to fight for something more than the standard in life know very well that this is not exactly how it works. Sandra Bullock's acting is very economical and spot on – her interactions with the characters, on the other hand, are fantasy.

The script, somehow very Americanized, doesn't allow me to believe that something like this could really happen. The whole thing is extremely idealized and desperately predictable. It seems to me like a sports fairy tale for children and adults, which is nice to look at, but that's all. (50%)
