The other night my wife and I watched "Invincible" with Mark Wahlberg and Greg Kinnear. It's a Disney feel-good movie, but I got choked up again - and this was at least the second time I've seen it! I guess I've got a soft spot in my heart for this type of sports movie - the one that celebrates the underdog. It's right up there with "Remember the Titans" and older classics like "Rudy" and "Hoosiers".
In case you're unfamiliar with the movie, it's the true story of Vince Papale, a 30 year-old bartender who made the 1976 Philadelphia Eagles after attending an open tryout. If you haven't seen it yet, pick it up - it's a safe, great date-night option. Read an interview with the real-life Papale here. Let me know what you think once you've watched it!
