Movie Description
The story of the misfit outsider who rises through the ranks of a professional sport to enjoy inexplicable success has been stamped into celluloid more times than most folks can remember. INVINCIBLE tells the tale of bartender Vince Papale (Mark Wahlberg), a down-on-his-luck former teacher who decides to answer an open tryout for the Philadelphia Eagles. It doesn't take a genius to work out what happens next, but the twist here is that Vince Papale is a real person, and the story is based on his eyebrow-raising memoir of the same name.


Papale's call-up to the Eagles occurred in 1976, so the flowery fashions and long flowing locks worn by both men and women of the era are all immaculately replicated by director Ericson Core's carefully styled cast. When Eagles coach Dick Vermeil (Greg Kinnear) throws his last, desperate roll of the dice and recruits Papale, he faces open hostility from his team of professionals. Papale also has to catch a few jibes at his expense, especially as he's a little old to be a professional football player. As the ill-fitting future star jostles with his teammates and strives to prove himself in the team, a host of '70s hits rip through the soundtrack, and subplots about a jealous friend (Dov Davidoff) and a lover (Elizabeth Banks) are utilized to lure in non-sports fans. Wahlberg is well cast, drawing on his experience in the similarly themed ROCK STAR, and once again proving his chops as a leading man. INVINCIBLE is a Disney film and follows firmly in the footsteps the company has imprinted upon the movie industry, with its wholesome tale closely resembling two other flicks the company has produced--REMEMBER THE TITANS and THE ROOKIE.

Editorial Reviews
"[Wahlberg] plays Vince as a guy who truly doesn't expect to win. That makes his rib-bruising triumph all the more believable and touching." -- Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman (09/01/2006)

"INVINCIBLE counters its predictably inspirational trajectory with close attention to historical detail and blue-collar hardship."
New York Times - Jeannette Catsoulis (09/05/2006)

      Another Great Football Movie to Add to the Collection

    Invincible

    Invincible is great, it's well acted and is an incredible true-story. Mark Wahlberg is great as Vince Papali and Greg Kinnear is superb as Coach Dick Vermeil.

    The movie itself is awesome. The movie not only features great football action, but also a look inside the life of an average Philadelphian circa 1976. I not only enjoyed every aspect of this movie. The fact that it's based on a true story makes it that much better.

    Walt Disney makes the best sports movies, and this film is no exception.

    Final Verdict:

    5/5

    Rent or Buy?: Sports or Football fan? This film is a must own. Just another great football movie to add to the collection.

    From our blog post of 12-21-06:

    Invincible, (no not the upcoming Invincible Iron Man movie!), was recently released on DVD. It's the true story of South Philly native Vince Papale who played three season with the Philadelphia Eagles football team after winning a spot in an open camp.

    Just checked it out yesterday at our local BlockBuster video store, (we own stock in the company), and viewed it last night.

    Tina grew up in the greater Philadelphia area, so she's been an Eagles fan long before she was introduced to comic book collecting by me. She is a true fan, much like her Uncle John who helped raised her, so she knew all about Vince Papale. And yes, she's heard the stories of Eagles fans booing Santa Claus (although she was too young to remember it).

    So how did it fare for a movie viewer like myself, who just recently became interested in the Philadelphia area and its football team?

    Well it was pretty darn GREAT! It reminded me so much of the first Rocky Balboa film, who was from the same South Philly area, and also struggled to become a star. However, this was about a true person, not a fictional character, and it made me check out the bonus features, which included how this movie came to be, after it was first told in a 4 minute promo on an earlier Monday Night Football game. If you rent the DVD, I suggest you watch the bonus feature before you watch the movie.

    The last time I was in Philly I had some fantastic cheesesteaks so, the street scenes made me hungry! Thank goodness we have "Philly Frank's" out here in San Diego area for when we're 'jonesing' for cheesesteaks!! Speaking of the street scenes, much of the movie was shot in Philadelphia. In fact, the daughter of a friend of Tina's served Mark Wahlberg several times at her Philly restaurant while they were in town filming the movie. (He was polite and a good tipper!)

    The movie is definitely not to be missed... even if you are NOT an Eagles fan or even a football fan. It has an inspirational story and can been seen by a family audience.

    Michael
