Thanks!! I knew you would like it... your own Cheez-It box inspired it. *Edit* MB is now in possession of the original Buck Pierce Wheaties Box. Gotta love how the whole box is Orange!!! :yes:

I saw this last night, actually! It was an awesome movie! I really enjoyed it...even with all the tidbits of information my boyfriend was giving me about players, coaches and teams of the 70's throughout it :roll: lol He liked it too!

I highly recommend it as well! Go see it!! I laughed, I cried(Disney movies always make me cry :oops:) Marky Mark did a great job.

(PS...ladies and gentlemen, there is a hot scene where Marky Mark is wet and muddy 8) ....yum)

Did someone say sushi?

back to the topic at hand, how believable football wise is this movie?

Anything like North Dallas Forty? A realistic 70s football movie. Ask an alumni

Never seen North Dallas Forty....but yes, the movie was pretty well done. It's Disney, so it's not amazing football, but it's good :wink:

A friend from work caught this movie over the weekend and their thoughts were: "Kind of Disney for me... but it was good.. nice story, inspirational."

I have plans to see Invincible tonight... a friend of mine wants to go (she's more into the Mark Wahlberg aspect, but that's ok).

All right! Just returned from the movie... and I see where the "too Disney" references come in. Sure it was a little sappy in spots, but all in all I liked it. So did my non-sports-fan friend, who only went to check out Mark in the mud :cool:

I thought the cinematography was amazing... then again I don't recall the last football movie I viewed in a theatre :? It was like I was right in the middle of every play, which was awesome. I found myself wincing and cringing during the big hits and of course cheering for the underdog aka Papale.

I don't know how "realistic" it was compared to North Dallas Forty... never saw the film and I've never played football either. I doubt it can compare - this is a slick Hollywood production let's not forget, but I don't regret seeing Invincible in the theatre.

The closing credits with actual footage of Papale with the Eagles were cool. :yes:

I saw it last Wed and it was a great movie. I think it will be an all time football classic movie. I'd highly recomend it. To even those who don't like football but a feel good story
