November 17, 2009
After swinging for the fences and scoring a sleeper success with “The Rookie” (2002), writer-director John Lee Hancock takes the field with “The Blind Side,” another uplifting and entertaining feel-good, fact-based sports drama.

But this Nov. 20 Warners release is particularly well positioned to be a four-quadrant hit as the consensus choice of family audiences during the upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
