Another movie review- Great one- Invincible

It's football's "Rocky!" Great movie. We had a group of about 14 of our guys from church to go see it. They all loved it. The majority of us are Eagles fans anyway. Football season is upon us. We love underdog stories, especially when it seems that one of us 'regular' guys gets a shot at something like that. We all feel the pressure Vince felt of not being able to make it in life. Then he loses his sub. teaching job and his wife leaves him. When she does, she takes everything and leaves him a note that pretty much calls him a loser. (SPOILER WARNING) He carries that stupid note around to motivate him I guess. One of the greatest parts of the movie is when he tears that note up. I think his greatest motivation must have been when he was driving around (feeling like he wasn't going to make it any farther) and sees a kid playing football in an empty lot with his #83 on his shirt in masking tape. He overcomes great odds by becoming a walk on player, the regular players hate him, he takes physical beatings on the field and he deals with naysayers off the field as well. Here's a review from Focus on the Family. http://www.pluggedinonline.com/movies/movies/a0002847.cfm
