Summary from yahoo movies:

When the coach of Vince Papale's beloved hometown football team hosted an unprecedented open tryout, the public consensus was that it was a waste of time--no one good enough to play professional football was going to be found this way. Certainly no one like Papale--a down-on-his-luck, 30 year-old, substitute teacher and part-time bartender who never even played college football. But against these odds, Papale made the team and soon found himself living every fan's fantasy--moving from his cheap seats in the upper deck to standing on the field as a professional football player.

Lauren - Thanks for starting.

I tend to be a sucker for these under dog sports movies.

Plus Mark is in it whom I love.

i really want to see this it looks so good!!! i like sports movies too sometimes

[jthorton17]

This movie looks really cool. I also love that they've picked Greg Kinnear to be the coach, that's such a great fit, he looks just like Dick Vermiel.

i think that mark and greg will be good in the movie!

Really looking forward to this film -- love movies based on true stories...makes it even more enoyable. And I love Mark Wahlberg -- he is such a hottie. When does it come out?

August 25th

Wahlber is going to be on Letterman to promote Invincible this week. I'll definitely be tuning in, both for him and to learn more about the movie.

Oh, cool - glad you enjoyed it!

I admit I'm interested because I like the cast, I remember the teams back then (during the period I watched football), and I like films like this based on true stories. What's not to like?

Thanks for the thread!

Exactly..........you can't help but get swept up in these underdog type of true stories.

Kinnear was great too.
