Mike Scott -
New Orleans Times-Picayune :
Local viewers will be tickled by the wealth of New Orleans details in the production. One of the best just might be in the film's music.

Ann Hornaday -
Washington Post:
The Princess and the Frog invite viewers to see the world as a lively, mixed-up, even confounding place, to recognize essential parts of ourselves in what we see, and to say: This is what we look like.

Amy Biancolli -
San Francisco Chronicle :
The animation, sparkling and graceful, also ranks as the studio's best traditional work in ages.

Mike Scott -
New Orleans Times-Picayune:
One of the reasons it's so effective is because it's based on a real-life, odds-defying story: that of mountainous Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Michael Oher (played by Quinton Aaron).

Michael Rechtshaffen -
The Hollywood Reporter:
Bullock is an irrepressible hoot in writer-director John Lee Hancock's otherwise thoroughly conventional take on Michael Lewis' fact-based book "The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game."

Betsy Sharkey -
Los Angeles Times:
Wisely, Hancock has given the film as much humor as heart.

Ty Burr - Boston Globe:
It pleases me to report, then, that Downey brings his brain, his wit, and his gift for intelligent underplaying, even as he understands he has been hired to play Sherlock Holmes, action hero.

David Denby - The New Yorker:
Challenged by Downey’s energy, Jude Law, who often seems aimless in his movies, comes fully up to speed. He’s virile and quick-witted, and his Watson, if not Holmes’s equal in brainpower, comes close to him in daring. Their repartee evokes the banter of lovers in a screwball comedy; they flirt outrageously but chastely.

Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Rachel McAdams, Mark Strong, Eddie Marsan, and Kelly Reilly
