There's a picture of a poster saying "KD loves #74" in the credits too -- so fun!

Yay! The first GC review is in.

I'm going to drag my older sister to see it this week. Can't wait!

[RaggedyAnn]

I agree. It was great and Sandra Bullock was again fabulous.

Great movie. I saw it last week! Everyone should see this movie for sure!

My boyfriend (a big Ravens fan) and I saw it this weekend. It was great! I liked that it wasn't totally deep/emotional - lots of good humor in it too.

You KDs have an amazing set of sisters in those ladies!

Saw the movie last night and then watched Oher with the Ravens. The man is a beast. For a first year lineman he really did a great job.

I was impressed with Tim McGraw. He is a better actor than I expected. Not great but better than expected.

Sandra is Sandra. Always a "hotty" and she played the strong woman to a tee. She even looked a little like Leigh Anne.

Definitely recommend this movie. It was nice to see a movie i would not be afraid to take my Mom or daughters to see.

Late on the game, but I finally saw this on Sunday. It was definitely one of the best movies that's come out in the theaters recently- my husband even said "it may be one of my favorites". The story was great and didn't appear to be over-Hollywood-ized... especially for a "based on a true story" movie. Sandra Bullock did a phenomenal job- very different role than her typical movies, but she did it really well. And the KD ties were a bonus. I wonder if the lunch group were KDs, or msc friends? Of course I was crying half the time (I'm a sucker for the sad-happy stuff) but it was a great movie.

The only downside to coming out of a great movie like this was coming out to the parking lot to find that the car right in front of us had been broken into. That brought us back to reality.

I just got home from seeing it.

LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT!

I loved the sign that said "KD loves #74" that was sweet!

Question- does anyone know if Collins joined the KD chapter at Ole Miss, since she is there now?

Collins did join the Alpha Mu chapter of KD here at Ole Miss. I believe she graduated last year. I thought she was in grad school here but I'm not sure if she is. Oh and she was a cheerleader at Ole Miss too and on Homecoming Court one year.

I saw it last week and absolutely loved it. Sandra Bullock was amazing, as usual.

Good job, KD's!

I just saw it today. So good!

Sandra Bullock won a Golden Globe for her role. She thanked the Touhy's in her acceptance speech. It was a nice touch. The Critics Choice Awards either aired/reaired today on VH1, I recorded it, so I'll have to watch and see if she won.

The Blind Side is nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture and Sandra Bullock for Best Actress for her role in The Blind Side!

I had some issues with the book when I read it...I might be a little cynical though.

Saw the movie out of curiosity and it was ok, but not anything Oscar-worthy. It seems to fit well with the majority of nominated films this year, i.e. crowd favorites as opposed to well-made movies.

I finally saw this movie, and I liked it a lot. I thought it was cute.
