Rotten Tomatoes has been an authority on critical reviews since 1998. The review site offers both critical and audience ratings of movies and TV shows. Anything that has an average of 60% and over of positive reviews is certified fresh, while anything under 60% gets a splat.

Some actors like Nicolas Cage and Adam Sandler have had a horrible Rotten Tomatoes streak for years on end, only to break that streak with one good movie. Whether these performers star in these splats for the promise of a paycheck or because they genuinely thought they were good, their series of bad movies could have tanked their careers. Luckily, they were able to bounce back with a certified fresh movie that set them on a better path.

Lily Collins' career has evolved from small, supporting roles to lead parts in high-profile films and TV shows. Despite facing critical reception, Collins' performances in films like Tolkien and Mank have been well-regarded. Emily in Paris marks Collins' most significant TV role, showcasing her range as an actress in a major series.

Lily Collins has been in a smattering of movies and TV shows since she made her debut in the industry at the age of 10. Her gateway into Hollywood was in a supporting voice-acting role in the 1999 animated film Tarzan. She got her part in that film through her famous father, British musician Phil Collins, who famously composed the music for Tarzan.

Since working alongside her dad, Collins has come to step out into more central roles in recent years. After Tarzan, her next roles came a decade later, including parts in 90210 and The Blind Side. From there,...

Michael Oher faced challenges getting into school and had to prove himself through a home study program. Oher played other sports before football and excelled academically, graduating with a criminal justice degree. The Tuohy family was not the only ones who helped Oher, as he had a close bond with his coach and stayed with multiple families at Briarcrest Christian School.

The 2009 film, The Blind Side, tells the story of Michael Oher's path to becoming a famed football player, but takes a few creative liberties and excludes certain details about his life. After playing for three NFL teams, including the Baltimore Ravens, Oher is now retired. The former football player has achieved numerous milestones throughout his career, but his name is predominantly tied to the film about his life. The profit earned from Oher's name has made The Blind Side a controversial film in recent years after he filed a...

Sandra Bullock starred as Leigh Anne Tuohy in The Blind Side, now streaming on Netflix. Bullock won an Oscar for her role in The Blind Side, which is among her best movies, despite recent controversy. The Blind Side's true story is disputed, with Michael Oher filing a lawsuit claiming the Tuohys tricked him into agreeing to a conservatorship.

Sandra Bullock starred in The Blind Side in 2009, and almost 13 years later, it's available to stream on Netflix (coincidentally following a newfound controversy concerning The Blind Side's subjects). Bullock's list of movie credits is quite long and impressive, especially regarding its diversity. She has appeared in multiple popular romantic comedies, Academy-Award-winning dramas (Speed and The Blind Side), and high-grossing blockbusters. Consequently, Bullock is one of Hollywood's highest-paid and renowned actresses.

For The Blind Side, Bullock was nominated for her performance as Leigh Anne Tuohy at the 82nd Academy Awards in 2010 and won.

Michael Oher filed a lawsuit claiming that the depiction of his adoption in the movie "The Blind Side" was a lie and that the Tuohy family tricked him and profited off his name. The success of "The Blind Side" was partially due to its marketing as a true story, showcasing hope and determination, which appealed to audiences. A judge ruled to end the conservatorship held by the Tuohy family in September 2023.

Almost 14 years after the release of The Blind Side, Michael Oher came out with his side of the story, claiming that the movie, which was marketed as "based on a true story," was rooted in lies. The 2009 biographical sports drama was inspired by Michael Lewis' 2006 novel of the same name, which primarily focuses on the evolution of American football strategy but also touches on Oher's tale. Oher was a professional football tackle for eight seasons, having played for the Baltimore Ravens,...

The Blind Side is a 2009 drama film that tells the true story of Michael Oher, a young African-American man from a poor upbringing who is taken in by a white family in Memphis, Tennessee.

The film, directed by John Lee Hancock, is based on the 2006 book The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game by Michael Lewis.

Even years after its 2009 release, The Blind Side is still honored as a classic film, primarily due to its stellar and iconic cast. Based on the book of the same name by Michael Lewis, The Blind Side is based on the true story of offensive lineman Michael Oher, who was taken in and educated by the Tuohy family in the early 2000s. In 2023, controversy...

Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy claim in new court docs that they referred to the NFL alum as a ‘son’ in the ‘colloquial sense.’

Sean Tuohy and Leigh Anne Tuohy have filed a response to Michael Oher‘s lawsuit. In the new legal documents, which Et obtained, the Tuohys deny Michael’s claim that they lied about adopting him and tricked him into making them his conservators in order to profit off of his story.

Rather, in the Tuohys’ response, the couple claims “they never intended to, and in fact never did, take any assumed legal custody” of Michael when they took him in as a teenager. Further, they “vehemently deny” that they told Michael “that they intended to legally adopt him.”

Even so, the Tuohys admit that they “occasionally referred to [Michael] as a son” and have “always felt [he] was like a son.” However, the Tuohys alleged that the word...

Michael Oher‘s high school football coach is weighing in on the lawsuit between Oher and the Tuohy family.

The 37-year-old former NFL pro filed a lawsuit on Monday that alleges that Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy tricked him into a conservatorship and lied about his adoption status when he was 18.

Auburn coach Hugh Freeze, who coached Oher at Briarcrest Christian School in Memphis, called the legal drama “sad.”

“I think it’s sad. I certainly don’t claim to understand all the ins and outs of adoption, conservatory, all of that. I know what I witnessed,” Freeze said Thursday, per The Athletic’s David Ubben. “I witnessed a family that totally took in a young man and I think without that, there is no story.”

Although Freeze said he’s not aware of the specific details surrounding the lawsuit, he defended the Tuohys, calling their handling of the situation...

Amid the ongoing legal drama between Michael Oher and the Tuohy family, author Michael Lewis — who wrote the book which the 2009 Oscar-nominated film “The Blind Side” was adapted from — is weighing in.

Recently, Oher — the former NFL star who was the inspiration behind the book and the film — filed legal documents in Tennessee court requesting it terminate a conservatorship after alleging Leigh Anne Tuohy and Sean Tuohy lied about adopting him and tricked him into making them his conservators shortly after he turned 18.

Oher claims the Tuohys made millions off his name while he never received a dime, after the film — starring Sandra Bullock, Quinton Aaron, Jae Head, Tim McGraw, Lily Collins and Kathy Bates — earned more than $300 million at the box office.

However, Lewis claims that, despite the film’s success, none of the real-life figures who inspired the film have gotten nearly any money from it in the 13 years since its release.

The Emily in Paris cast shined in its third season, and Emily and her closest friends were joined by new characters as she faced some of the biggest challenges in her personal and professional life. Emily in Paris premiered on Netflix in 2020 and was generally well-received, though it was heavily criticized for its depiction of Parisians and the French, which was labeled as stereotypical. Still, this didn’t stop Emily in Paris from being renewed for a second and third season, with the latter now available to stream on Netflix.

Emily in Paris follows Emily Cooper, who in season 1 moved to France to provide an American point of view to Savoir, a French marketing firm. In addition to her struggles with French culture and the language, Emily in Paris follows Emily’s personal struggles with her new friends and new romantic relationships, which peaked in season 2. In season 3, Emily faced...

With Oscar season not far behind us and the 2009 Us release date of The Blind Side all but a distant memory, UK audiences can finally get up to speed and see what all the fuss has been about! Best Actress Oscar winner Sandra Bullock knocked out rivals Meryl Streep, Helen Mirren, Carey Mulligan and Gabourey Sidibe to be crowned Best Actress in a Leading Role.

Her performance and stunning transformation is nothing short of perfection. Some might say this is Bullock’s “Erin Brockovich” and you’ll soon see why. Far removed from her ‘Rom-Com’ days of “Speed” and “Miss Congeniality”, Bullock’s depiction of the real Leigh Anne Tuohy is hard-hitting, fiercely charming, savvy and most importantly very real.
