INVINCIBLE is the inspiring true story of Vince Papale, an ordinary guy who, against extraordinary odds, gets a one-in-a-gazillion shot at living every sports fan's wildest fantasy. Like the city he lives in and his beloved hometown NFL team, the down-and-out Vince (Mark Wahlberg) has seen better days. But then the Philadelphia Eagles' new coach Dick Vermeil (Greg Kinnear) calls an unprecedented open tryout, and the 30-year-old bartender who never played college ball makes the cut. Now Vince needs every bit of his gritty, never-say-die attitude and enormous heart to survive in the high-stakes world of professional football. Heartfelt and triumphant, and filled with body-slamming NFL football action, INVINCIBLE will have you on your feet cheering for the scrappy underdog who helped his team rediscover its winning spirits, and in the process rallied a city when it needed it most.

It perfectly recreates Philly during the time period of Dick Vermeil's start of coaching the Eagles and the story of an open try-out in which they actually found and signed a local to play for the team. The acting and music are all great. My gripe is that they seem to have chosen a weird cross-section of gameplay to portray in the movie. It doesn't quite end where you think it might; others might like this aspect but I was a little put off by it. Still, a very well done movie and if you are a Philly fan or native it seems to be required viewing.

I am a die-hard Philadelphia sports fan...And this movie is for anyone who is and who is NOT a Philadelphia Eagles fan. This movie was absolutely entertaining and romantic, Mark Wahlberg played an outstanding role as Vince Papale. Greg Kinnear looks like Dick Vermeil's twin brother. But like I said, is for anyone who is a Philly Sports fan or NOT...this movie I would give an extra 5 stars!

Fantastic recreation of Philly, in the mid 70's. (I grew up there) Wahlberg, cast & crew absolutely nails it. True story adds to an excellent movie. Would give it 10 stars.
