<p>I didn't see a thread of this movie yet so here's mine.</p><p>I thought it was a great movie! </p><p>Yes, I am biased as a Philadelphia native and Eagles fan, I'll admit that.</p><p><font size="1">BUT... I have to disagree somewhat with today's show saying that it was filled with sport movie cliches.</font></p><p><font size="1">Yes, there was a fair amount of character sap, as there is in every sports movie.</font></p><p><font size="1">But this is what made it for me - Vince Papale was on his own trying to be an Eagle.<br /><br />There wasn't another player on the team that believed in him and was his lockeroom buddy, he wasn't friends with the equipment guy, and even when you saw a coach-player heartfelt talk coming, there wasn't one. He was alone, with no friends on that team, and wasn't really liked until he scored a touchdown.<br /><br />That's realistic.</font><font size="1" /></p><p>And yea, the music kicked ass. I will pick up the soundtrack.</p>
