What’s this sports movie that’s been doing big business actually like?
Ron checks out Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side…
Sports movies are typically niche affairs.
That description covers every sports film fromRockyto 1940sKnute Rockne: All American.
In a sense,The Blind Sideis exactly as I described the stereotypical sports film.
While Michael is the movies centerpiece, Leigh Anne is the star.
Coach Cotton (Ray McKinnon) is a scene-stealer.
Its a very warm and pleasant experience, but it never gets too feel-good for its own good.
I didnt go in expecting much fromThe Blind Side, despite all the praise.
UScorrespondent Ron Hogan believes this is the best performance Sandra Bullock has ever done.
For once, shes not just playing Sandra Bullock.
