Barely flawed but thoroughly enjoyed

Rating: 9/10 (27 August 2006)

well in all honesty i wasn't sure whether I'd go to see this cause I've been apprehensive about seeing Disney films over the last couple yrs. (sans- pirates of the Caribbean). When I heard the story of Vince though before the movie I thought, what the hell. This movie felt as though it was based so much more on the environment than it was about the man. Vince Papale symbolized the spirit of 1 city better than any person I remember ever hearing of and that includes Rocky and Rudy. The only thing I have to ask and maybe this is because of my lack of age (20 yrs. old thank you) but what is or what was Columbo's? and not to get on someone's ass but when I'm watching scenes of the vet how come someone didn't have enough foresight to cover up the track around Franklin Field with Astroturf? Outside of that Mark Wahlberg does a great job thinking back to some of his more recent films I wonder whether he has a funny bone in him cause some of his lines could have been delivered in a more lighter mood. Oh well, great movie and please for the love of god don't spoil it with a dumb-ass attempt at a sequel.
