I'll admit I'm sucker for sports movies, especially the ones that are down on their luck and somehow the main character makes the team. Here's one where it's a combination of "Rocky" meets "Rudy" it's called "Invincible". Mark Whalberg plays Vince Papale, a part time subsititute teacher and bartender whose life goes from bad to worst. A friend of his persuades him to try out for the Eagles after Dick Vermeil (Greg Kinnear) declares open tryouts for the Philadelphia public. The story is good, but for some reason the acting was quite convincing. Sure mark whalberg is a good actor and he did show some athletic moves, but I was waiting some tear jerking moment and I didn't see it. If anybody steals the show it's the supporting cast who act and talk like Philly fans. Anyway, Invincible left me wanting to punt instead of going for it on fourth and inches. If you want to see a football movie here are my top five suggestions.
1. Rudy 2.Remember theTitans 3.The Original Longest Yard 4. Friday Night Lights 5.Brian's song ,I know there are other football films and if you want to post your Top 5 go right ahead.
