Oher Had Problems with the Picture Right Away
While audiences around the world were falling in love with The Blind Side and feeling the emotional effects of Sandra Bullock’s starring role as Leigh Anne Tuohy, Michael Oher wasn’t having such positive thoughts. In fact, he wasn’t happy with the way the film turned out at all.

When asked for his view of the movie, Oher said it wasn’t as realistic as it claimed to be. He argued that certain events had been depicted in an inauthentic way, and certain truths had been changed. In the end, he felt it did his life and legacy more harm than good.
