Missing an extra bit of punch, but 'Invincible' is another strong sports drama from Disney.
Mark Wahlberg is a great choice to play Vince Papale, who this film is based on. I enjoyed following his character's arc, it is a predictable one but it still produces a load of heart. Greg Kinnear (Dick Vermeil) and Elizabeth Banks (Janet) add a good amount with their supporting roles. I also like those who play Papale's friends, Michael Kelly being one.
It takes the usual liberties with what actually happened in real life, but that's not important to me. All I care about is how the film comes out, and this produces a very enjoyable film. I'd recommend it.
The typical underdog-makes-good story, and one of the better ones at that.

It's a good movie. It's not about the best football player, by far! But it's about when you love something, when you can live your dream for a moment, you give it all. And he just wanna to play.

It's a little embarrassing to say but this was enjoyable. Mark Wahlberg is a likable actor to begin with. Now, have him play an underdog, down-on-his-luck, part-time bartender who beats the odds and becomes an NFL player and you've got mainstream moviegoer gold.
Everything is cliched but that's what most people like and this movie sucker punched me as well.
