I'm not a big fan of sports movies. Sports movies tend to be even more formulaic than most movies but I did enjoy the movie Invincible.
Invincible is the true story of Philadelphia resident Vince Papale. Philadelphia Eagles coach Dick Vermeil was hired to turn around a losing team. One of the things Coach Vermeil does is ask for non-professional football players to try out for the Eagles. Down on his luck and pressured by his friends, bartender Vince Papale tries out for the Eagles and makes it. Of course, the rest of the movie is like a dream come true for Vince.
Actor Mark Wahlberg plays Vince Papale. Athough isn't my most favorite actor, I enjoyed his performance in this movie and a few others. Wahlberg hasn't been spoiled by the Hollywood scene and can still act like an ordinary guy.
So, if you like sports movies, this one might be the right one for you.
