Michael Phillips
There's a sugar coating to the way Papale's story unfolds, but not so much that you'll spoil your dinner.
Bill Muller
Even Papale's most famous play, recovering a fumble to set up a touchdown, is embellished, as if Disney can't bear to stick with the facts.
Joanne Kaufman
When it's good it's very good. When it's bad -- well, it's still pretty good.
Geoff Pevere
Invincible is a working-class jock Cinderella fantasy with the sincerity of a beer commercial, the soul of a Republican incumbent, and the designer-flannel esthetics of an old Bruce Springsteen video.
Claudia Puig
It may not break new ground, but Invincible is an entertaining film, awash in clichés but leavened by the charismatic performance of Mark Wahlberg as Vince Papale.
Richard Schickel
What's modestly refreshing about the way this story is told by director Eric Core and writer Brad Gann, is that the person with the largest doubts about going pro is Papele himself.

User reviews

This movie was great for the first hour It perfectly recreates Philly during the time period of Dick Vermeil's start of coaching the Eagles and the story of an open try-out in which they actually found and signed a local to play for the team. The acting and music are all great. My gripe is that they seem to have chosen a weird cross-section of gameplay to portray in the movie. It doesn't quite end where you think it might; others might like this aspect but I was a little put off by it. Still, a very well done movie and if you are a Philly fan or native it seems to be required viewing.

Google Nexus 5 I am a die-hard Philadelphia sports fan...And this movie is for anyone who is and who is NOT a Philadelphia Eagles fan. This movie was absolutely entertaining and romantic, Mark Wahlberg played an outstanding role as Vince Papale. Greg Kinnear looks like Dick Vermeil's twin brother. But like I said, is for anyone who is a Philly Sports fan or NOT...this movie I would give an extra 5 stars!
Great movie... Great movie, but one based on an even more awesome story.

The award-winning bestseller comes to life in this phenomenally fun, adventure-filled movie starring Emmy Award-winner Shia LaBeouf. Dogged by bad luck stemming from an ancient family curse, young Stanley Yelnats (LaBeouf) is sent to Camp Green Lake, a very weird place that's not green and doesn't have a lake. Once there, he's thrown headlong into the adventure of his life when he and his colorful campmates -- Squid, Armpit, Zigzag, Magnet, X-Ray, and Zero -- must dig a hole a day to keep the warden at bay. But why? Through it all, Stanley and company must forge fast friendships as they try to unearth the mystery of what's really going on in the middle of nowhere. Filled with humor and heartwarming messages of friendship and teamwork, HOLES is a treasure everyone will dig.

High school coach Jim Morris (Dennis Quaid) thought his dream was over. He'd had his shot playing baseball, blew out his shoulder, and retired without ever reaching the big leagues. Then, in 1999, he made a bet with his perpetually losing team: If they won the district championship, Morris -- who threw a 98 mph fastball -- would try out for the majors. The team went from worst to first, and Jim was soon on the road to becoming the oldest rookie in the major leagues!

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry returns for his fifth year of study at Hogwarts only to discover that much of the wizarding community has been led to believe that the story of the teenager's recent encounter with the evil Lord Voldemort is a lie, putting Harry's integrity in question. Worse, the Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, has appointed a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, the duplicitous Professor Dolores Umbridge. But Professor Umbridge's "Ministry-approved" course of defensive magic leaves the young wizards woefully unprepared to defend themselves against the Dark Forces threatening them, so at the prompting of his friends Hermione and Ron, Harry is convinced to take matters into his own hands. Meeting secretly with a small group of students who name themselves "Dumbledore's Army," Harry teaches them how to defend themselves against the Dark Arts, preparing the courageous young wizards for the extraordinary battle that lies ahead.
