It will send you back to euchre.

Rating: Null/10 (30 August 2006)

In the mid-seventies, the city of Philadelphia and their Eagles needed to win one. The recession and the poorest record in the NFL called out for a hero. As Hollywood and sometimes life would have it, one actually appears, Vince Papale (Mark Wahlberg) from South Phillie, with negligible high school experience but considerable character and heart.
Yes, it's a formula sports film, but what else can you do when those are the facts, Man? What sets Invincible apart from the clichés is the relentless hard work it portrays for aspiring and made-it players, not to mention the beleaguered coach (Greg Kinnear). Although Elizabeth Banks is way too attractive for a barmaid, this uncharacteristically unromantic up lifter will send you back to euchre.
