I like the movie, it's pretty faithful to Oher's story as presented in the book with only a few scenes that I thought were Hollywooded up, the most obnoxious one was very close to the ending. Although it had a brief bit about Theismann and Taylor at the very beginning it didn't go into much detail about the left tackle position or any of the other football stuff in the book. The actors and actresses were a lot like how I imagined the characters while reading the book, Bullock was good and the kid who played the youngest child was very funny. One thing I got a kick out of were how many of the coaches that came over to recruit Oher were wearing attire from schools that no longer employed them (Saban for LSU, Tuberville for Auburn, Holtz for South Carolina, Fulmer for Tennessee, and Nutt for Arkansas). I enjoyed the book and I was kind of worried before seeing the movie due to the previews but it turned out pretty good.
