"Invincible" was a helluva good movie.
And this is coming from a die hard Redskins fan.

The audience clapped. It was truly an inspiring little flick.

2. Yeah, he looked kinda small.
And his helmet looked big. He looked a bit like the little kids with giant helmets...lol.

But, really, it was a good flick.

4. I was really rooting for this guy.
It was well done. Kinnear did a great job playing Vermeil, who was really a class act as a head coach.

5. It's based on a true story? Not the same one as Rudy, is it?

7. Yes, it is based on a true story.
About 3 year Eagle special teamer Vince Papale, who was tending bar and attended open tryouts the year Dick Vermeil took over the head coaching job.

I truly enjoyed the movie.

:)

8. You will like it!
I think if they did "The Replacements" as the actual 87 Redskins, rather than a loose basing on them, it would have been inspiring like this film.

"Friday Night Lights" and "Remember the Titans" have been the best in the last few years.
