When this film came out, I believed its feel good story about how this family supposedly did good deeds. What really happened is that Michael Oher was never adopted by Leigh Ann and Sean Tuohy. Instead what the Tuohys did was to trick Michael into signing conservatorship papers which allowed the Tuohys and their children to profit off of Michael's story.
Only years later, with the help of a lawyer, was Michael able to learn the truth. The Tuohys and their children received payments of tens of thousands of dollars from the Blind Side film while Michael was paid nothing.
I almost never give a movie a 1 star rating. But this one, based on a pack of lies, deserves it.
