I always knew something felt off about this movie...

This is definitely a great "feel good movie" with a great cast and great acting, and if it were based on a fictional character, I'd have no qualms with it whatsoever. However, this movie is not based on a fictional character, it's based on a real man who was lied to for all of his adult life by individuals who profited from him thinking they were "family". Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy (portrayed wonderfully in the film by Tim McGraw and Sandra Bullock, respectively) tricked Michael Oher into signing a conservatorship - granting them financial control over his earnings and allowing them to use his likeness for this film and their numerous books - when he thought he was signing adoption papers making him part of the family. The saddest part that makes this one of the worst white savior scams ever is that they and their two biological children were paid $250,000 + 2.5% of net profits EACH from the $300,000,000+ grossing film (about $4.6M each), while Michael himself received nothing for the movie about HIS life, and Oher had to find this out himself after hiring a lawyer to get to the bottom of this. There is no way I could ever watch this movie again and enjoy it any bit knowing that the main character got swindled by people who claimed to love him only to profit from his success story.

Loved it as a kid, as an adult I realized...

This must be embarrassing for Mr. Oher to see. A movie that takes away his accomplishments and credits them all to his adoptive family.

Michael has said himself that the movie Mis-portrayed how much he knew about football. By his account, he was already playing football when he met his adoptive family. While movies will understandably take certain liberties for the sake of telling a story fit for the theaters, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth knowing that Oher's own hard work is minimized in this movie. After all, this is based on Oher's life, and those who watch this movie will likely believe the story is as close to reality as the filmmakers could get.

When you look at how near impossible it is for most people to become a pro athlete, and when you start to under the intense training, dieting, and studying of the game an athlete will have undergone to even be noticed by a league like the nfl, then taking that accomplishment away from the athlete is a tragedy. I enjoyed this movie as a kid for the underdog sports drama theme, but as an adult, can't help but think Oher deserved a much better movie about his life.

A blind man can tell that this is a great film.

Nice to see Sandra Bullock come back after the cinematic travesty, called All About Steve(2009). This was a well made film, perfectly filmed,and great performances by everybody.

Leigh Ann Tuohy(Sandra Bullock), seems to have the life most women would envy, a wonderful supporting husband(Tim Mcgraw), and two great kids(Lily Collins and Jae Head). But one day while driving home, she sees, a larger then life teenager which everybody calls Big Mike(Quinton Aaron), when she tries to talk to him, he comes across as a little withdrawn, and is nearly homeless, she decides to take him in, with her supporting family behind her. Leigh finds out his name is Michael Oher, and tries to dig up things about his past, in hopes of helping him, but the question is will she?

I really liked this film, it manages to balance humor and drama perfectly. Sandra Bullock gave quite a strong performance, so Quinton Aaron, Lyn Collin, but Jae Head is quite the scene stealer. It also has a good football scene as well. And Kathy Bates is good in her supporting role also. I say see The Blind Side.
