I didn't like it at all. The book was much better than the movie.

The movie was ruined for me the minute I heard Sandra Bullock's horrific attempt at a southern accent.

fulmer apparently coached her on accent.
he did the best job out of the coaches.
was funny seeing orgeron, didn't appear to comfortable.

watched it in alabama. when tuberville or saban were on, the rednecks chose sides and actually started cheering and clapping. embarrassed for them.

I thought it was really good! I loved all the connections to the south and SEC football. Not only that but it was awesome how much Tennessee was involved. It was hilarious when his tutor freaks him out about playing in Neyland because of the body parts farm! Not only that but it was a great movie and was entertaining from start to finish.

Anyone notice they had a clip of us playing Clemson but had us winning 44-24...that was not accurate at all! haha!

Personally I'm boycotting this movie and think everyone else should as well. I went to high school at the same time as Oher at a school a few miles down the road. I knew a lot of the same people as he did that went to his high school and those of them that have read the book tell me if not a complete fabrication, it is filled with half-truths. The teachers often helped him by cheating on tests and he is completely glorified in this movie. Personally, I think that alone makes this movie a complete waste and I won't be sending my money to someone spreading a lie.

Good lord. A high school athlete that isn't a saint? Or the fact that Hollywood embellishes someone's virtues? If you can't live with either of those I suggest you avoid movies all together because 99.9% of them are "lies". Maybe you should stick to movies about Gandhi?

He might have cheated, and participated in a illegal activties... What football player hasn't? I mean of course there are feel good stories that might be cleaner than oher's, but he went from not having a bed, mom, dad, clothes, or edcation. If teachers were helping him cheat it would probably be better for him to get a chance to attend college and make it in life.

I think you just need to Quit being jealous about the fact you were the redneck he threw over the fence. (joke)

In your statement you seem to imply that it is (in certain instances) OK for a teacher to cheat. As a former educator I have to say that it is never OK to help a student in that way. I wouldn't do it no matter the circumstances.

In his situation. I'm not saying a teacher should pass high school kids to play ball, but if he has a scholarship he would be "cheating" to continue his education. If the cheating accusations are true, and he needed help, even with that private Tudor, at least he was trying. I know that isn't good enough for the real world, but if they didn't cheat an pass him he would end up selling drugs and going in and out of jail. What is the moral thing to do in that situation? Btw I don't believe at all they played, just my 2 cent.

Saw the movie today with the gf. It was fun explaining to her who all the coaches were. I found it interesting in how all those coaches who were in the movie no longer coach the teams they did back then and how some coach other SEC teams. The movie wasn't have bad.

Just saw it. It was a great movie for any SEC fan. Tennessee was almost talked about more than Ole Miss in the movie. It was pretty funny

I was, until reading the reviews hear going to take a pass on this movie. I did not think that it could be that well done. Nothing to do with Mrs. Jesse James. I am a fan of hers. I just did not think it would portray UT and the vols in a good light. Hey I'm still not over those scenes in Forrest Gump........

i saw it yesterday. it was alright. not a big fan of sandra bullock but she did ok in her role. i did think some of fulmer's lines were pretty cringe-worthy. it was still fun seeing so many coaches make cameos though.

I saw it over the holiday down in GA. I was wearing a Tennessee shirt not even thinking about it, and by the end of the movie when we were walking out it seemed like every person was staring at me. Weird stuff. And yeah, they all went crazy when Bullock said she hated UT.

Ok, so I watched this movie last night and have a question about it. Maybe I was just paying too much attention to detail...I think it was early in the movie they were watching a game between Tennessee, and what I thought to be Clemson. However, the score on their TV screen showed TN leading 44-24, but the only score I've been able to find in a recent game of the two was the Peach Bowl where Clemson won 27-14. Any ideas? Was I seeing things, did they make that part up, or am I just doing shoddy research? Thanks.

nope, i was thinking the same thing when i saw it this past weekend. they probably worked some movie magic to get the score to show up like that. i'm kind of surprised they didn't leave it like it was and have us losing since since tennessee seems to be the evil school that everyone hates in the movie.

we saw it yesterday and when they are watching the game on TV, you can here the announcer say "Manning, back to pass" but I thought it sounded like Jon Ward's voice...
We all loved the movie, must see for an sec fan...
I liked the part when the recruiter from UGA says "great, Fulmers here, we might as well leave"
