One of the highest-grossing sports movies of all time.
According to my research, arguably the highest-grossing pure sports movie that fits the definition, not like F1.
Well, the recent F1 movie, which was thrown a billion dollars at, this one kind of actually did.
Sandra Bullock won an Oscar for playing the mammoth.
According to your research, how did you know I was going to mention it?
No, I wanted to know what was the highest grossing sports movie of all time.
I didn't know you were going to mention this one.
That's impressive.
Undercut as well by the fact that Michael Orr, the player it's about, is now suing the family.
So it's not the straightforward story we thought it was.
He alleges that when he was 18, he was tricked into signing papers for a conservatorship, which gave the two his legal control over his finances instead of adoption papers, which is what he was...
what was portrayed in the story.
Was he getting a sequel then?
Blindside 2?
I'm telling you.
Revenge?
He also, interestingly, and this will change your enjoyment of the film, he has expressed disappointment.
The movie portrays him as unintelligent and this impacted his NFL draft position.
Yeah, well, the character barely has a line in the movie.
So I'm not sure about that.
