One of the most touching football movies I've ever watched in my life Mark Wahlberg at his best playing a bartender who gets to try out for the Philadelphia Eagles and by all luck somehow makes the team and fights his way in you will not find the more inspiring movie than this one

Lots of problems with this film:* Feels too formulaic. The director just went through the motions to get the film done without putting in extra effort to make it distinctive.* Unnecessarily depressing until the final scene. Depressing dialogue. Worst of all - the color of scenes in South Philadelphia is filtered to produce a depressing brown tint in a misguided attempt to "set the mood".* Weak character development. Vince and the budding romance with Janet are handled well. Johnny, who is Vince's nemesis, feels formulaic again. The bar owner Max and the other neighborhood buddies, whose names I can't even remember - that gives some indication of the weak character development - seem two dimensional at best.The only redeeming aspect of this film is its 1970s rock soundtrack.

I wonder why Mark Wahlberg makes so many meh movies this days he needs to go back and make great movies just like this one. Disney and sports combined in an excellent film with a great cast what more do you want? The film gives you hope that you should never give up that you should keep moving forward the story of the film is about Vince Papale, a 30- year-old bartender from South Philadelphia who overcame long odds to play for the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles in 1976. I just hope the movie was even bigger it ended kinda rushed and we didn't see more games that the team won but still a pretty good film for the whole family. Final score: 10 out of 10.

in my opinion it was generally likable and very easy to follow. The actors did a great job portraying these people as if i actually knew them. some people would say its just another football movie, when its not. Its a amazing story of a man who wanted a dream and did everything in his power to achieve. sorry people no spoilers. but this movie i could watch over and over again. its not heart wrenching but rather heart warming and its a great movie to let the kids watch. it will teach them no dream is out of reach. but honestly its got a pretty guessable ending, and is really sometimes just out there. It may have some flaws but what movie doesn't.
