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!

Excellent Movie based off true history. Couldn't imagine how crazy it was bavk then. I'm glad Philly made the Superbowl in 1980 though the local man retired in 1979. It was a heart warming touching movie. Do wish there was more football action but overall brilliant!
