I don't think most people realize how much embellishing and changing of true narratives for movies that Hollywood does. And that goes for anything 'based off of real events' movie-related. I can see both sides of this story: I think Oher doesn't like at all how the movie portrayed him or his situation and also think the parents of the family that took him in for a short time also capitalized off the situation. Were their intentions pure right out of the gate initially? Hard to say. I can't help but also think Oher is a little disgruntled about how he kind of got cut out of the financial gains mostly in hindsight. Now its a lawsuit. Sad for everyone.
