Baltimorean here, and I would say yes, the movie created expectations he could never live up to.
He was good here in B’more, but was never great, here’s to hoping he gets another ring tomorrow.
I seem to recall seeing a picture of Leigh Anne. Pretty hot, also.
She pulled off the part very nicely; I especially liked her little second amendment bit when harassed by the drug dealer. She was believable, and if her attitude towards guns is typical for Hollywood she acted it superbly!
Just following the rules?
A bit more than that. But the movie doesn't tell the whole story the way the book does.
I recall reading that Oher was upset that the movie made him out to be incompetent at football and a woman turned him into a player.
