Michael Oher Admits He Doesn't Like 'The Blind Side,' a Movie Based on His Life

The 2009 film The Blind Side is one of those movies that's easy for most people to love.

Cultural barriers are crossed, a disadvantaged youth finds a way to a better life and the good guys win.

It's a neat little "based on a true story" bundle about the virtues of people helping people, and it only really digs at complexity if you're Michael Oher, the Carolina Panthers left tackle whose struggle for survival as a foster child in Memphis, Tennessee, serves as the film's basis.

Speaking to ESPN.com's David Newton after practice on Wednesday, Oher admitted he doesn't like the movie and the way its followed him throughout his NFL career.
