Personally, I think it looks like a good movie; I like inspirational stories and everything.

i feel like you're missing the point... the fact that the story is based on a true story doesnt change the fact that people are tired of movies like this. it becomes overdone and cliche, and when you look at it racially, it gives this image of white people being the rescuer to the minorities who need rescuing, which leaves a bad taste in some people's mouth.
this movie (the trailer, anyway) doesnt show us anything different than similar movies of the sort. it's kinda cut and dry, fill-in-the-blank-type storyline. you have to wonder why this woman's story (of all the people doing great things in the world) is being told. someone mentioned the real-life woman is now in politics - so i wouldnt be surprised at all if it was a campaign move.
so tell me how that's an overreaction.
