Cool Sports Flick!!!

Rating: 9/10 (11 February 2008)

I am not a big fan of sports movies but really enjoyed this Walt Disney film with Mark Whalberg. This true life story about Vince Papale shows that anyone can do whatever they set there hearts too. A bartender in the late 1970's tries out for the Philadelphia Eagles and makes the team. I thought this film did a very good job in looking like the 70's. Most Disney films always do a good job portraying the time period. The costumes and cars were awesome. Even the bar he works at has that 1970's look. I liked the story, thought it believable in the sense that a man in his thirties is still very physically fit and quit able to play pro sports. I of all sports dislike Football more then any other sport but do respect the pure tough sportsmanship of the game. I thought the sports play was shot very nicely with slick camera footage. I loved the actual news footage and recordings of old games they used. Very good film and one of Mark Whalberg's better movies.
