I will admit two things: I love football; and I hate the Philadelphia Eagles. My love wins out over my hatred, so I have to say I really enjoyed this movie. From Rock Star to Invincible, Mark Wahlberg is like the perfect actor to portray a fantasy-come-true character. This heart-warming football / underdog story is not unlike the movie Rocky, which was also filmed in Philadelphia. The commentary with the real Vince Papale added a lot to the story, too. Even if he refers to the worms that crawl all over the place after it rains in Philly as "Dallas Cowboys," it's all good. It's hard to say what the best sports movie of all time is. You've got some really good football flicks (like Friday Night Lights, Remember The Titans, Varsity Blues, The Longest Yard, Gridiron Gang, Any Given Sunday, Rudy, The Best of Times, North Dallas Forty, just to name a few), and this is indeed a very good one, but probably not in the top five.
