I ventured to the theater today to see Invincible, starring Mark Wahlberg. Mark plays Vince Papale, a bartender who tries out for the Philadelphia Eagles. This movie has a lot of heart. It also stars Greg Kinnear as the coach...as new to the team as Vince is. Elizabeth Banks is a potential love interest, as Janet, cousin of the bar owner where Vince is employed. Her character is quite charming while rooting for the NY Giants in the heart of Philly.
It's based on the true story of Vince Papale, who did play receiver for the Eagles for three seasons. Definitely a feel-good, formula movie, along the lines of Rudy - but who doesn't love 'em. Brought to us by Disney, which has branched out in the past several years with adult releases but they still maintain a wholesomeness which is quite welcome in the midst of other movies enundated with sex, profanity and overly freakish violence. A nice breath of fresh air to check out.
