Invincible

Based on the story of Vince Papale*, a 30-year-old bartender from South Philadelphia. If you like football, and I mean really really like football, you might like this movie. And if you don't? Well, you might like it anyway. I loved all the 70's "kitch*" in the movie. Lots of fun things reminding me of when I was a kid (I was a 70's baby). Quite a lot of predictable happenings here of course. Down on his luck good guy with low self-esteem issues, surprises (mainly) himself (because everyone else besides his wife, thinks he's the best) and makes good. Though, it wasn't easy. Predictable. But, good. Worth watching. Fun accents, 70's music, and again that kitch. Decent story, lots of male bonding (so, very male oriented) but with enough heart to please those like me, hoping for a good story and maybe even the proverbial happy ending. Greg Kinnear and Mark Wahlberg are both very good in this.
