I'm all about this movie.. It's a fantastic story..

The Eagles thing bothered me at first, but then I thought, "Hey, only in Philadelphia would a 30 year old bartender with no college football experience and one year of high school football under his belt make the team." That made me feel better and I decided I would definitely see the movie.. :D

I'd watch it, just to see the Cowboys knock him to the ground again and again :D

I just got back from the movies and invincible was fantastic.

It was as good as rudy, mark wahlberg is great and it looked like Rocky.

South philly in the 70s! It was just like it.

Anyway, if your looking for something to do tonight, go see invincible.

They show texas stadium a bunch and have landry and pearson and staubach portrayed in the movie.

I am pretty sure they used the crowd from last years Eagles cowboys game, so anyone who was there like myself, you are up in the stands somewhere. I know they filmed at the stadium last year the morning after the giants game oct 16.

Anyway it was a great movie.

Did they use look-alikes for Staubach and Landry?

Or did they pull a Forrest Gump and edit them into the movie?

They used look-alikes (who weren't the closest of matches).

I just saw it. Really enjoyed it.

It makes the short list of best sports movies to have come out in the past 4 or 5 years.

It is worth seeing.

OK, I watched it and I thought it was a good movie ... once I got past the Eagles thing.

I thought they did a very good job of making it look authentic ... right down to the red, white and blue stripes on the Cowboys helmets in 1976.

Very good movie.

Yeah. I also thought the "hyper camera" effects during game sequences was an interesting way to convey the adrenalin rush and speed associated with the game.

I heard that the guy who played Landry was spot on and that during the filming in Texas Stadium, the crowd went nuts when they saw him standing on the sideline.
