4.0 out of 5 stars
a feel good family movie, Aug 16 2007
This review is from: Invincible (2006) (Widescreen) (DVD)
i liked this movie for the most part.it's based on the life of a 30
year old Philadelphia bartender who gets a shot a playing for the NFL's
Philadelphia eagles.he has no college experience and only played one
year of high school football.but his friends convince him to attend the
open tryout held by the team.no one gives him a chance to even make
training camp.i'm sure the filmmakers took some liberty with the movie
for dramatic purposes,so how accurate the film is,i don't really know.i
do know it is entertaining,with good acting performances.Mark Wahlberg
plays VInce Papale,the character the movie is based on.he does a fine
job,but i really liked Elizabeth Banks in a supporting role as the love
interest.i thought she was fantastic.the only knock i would give this
movie is that it gets a bit too sentimental at times,with that
sweeping,emotional instrumental music.but then,this is a Disney
movie,and from my experience they're sort of known for that.however
aside from a bit of mild language and some football violence,this is a
good family movie.i give "Invincible" an 4/5
