 Posted: 10/01/06 - 07:32 Post subject: Movie Review: Invincible (2006)
Summary: When part time bartender and full time Eagles fan Vince Papale tries out for the team during an open call, he makes the team in a complete twist of fate. Invincible is a story of Papale's career with the Eagles and his personal struggles and triumphs.
We all saw this last night, having lived in the Philadelphia area all of my life, I knew the Vince Papale story very well. In fact he grew up about a ½ mile from where I lived most of my life. The movie accurately captures and portrays the love and passion the Philly folks have for the Eagles.
Its always neat seeing a movie that is made in your home town, and about a story you know a lot about. The producers did a great job recreating 1970's Philadelphia, and even Vet stadium, which was blown up in 2004
Even my daughter the non-football fan really enjoyed the movie. We are definitely getting this on DVD. Its a great movie that the entire family can watch, very little language, or sexual content. You walk out that inspired and awed.
