"
Invincible
won't surprise you in story, performances, or resolution; however, give it a chance, and it might sneak up on you."
FilmJerk.com
Brian Orndorf
"The hard-charging practice and game scenes take you onto the field and slam you into large, shoulder-padded men."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
C-
"This entirely average Disney drama sports nuanced performances and little else."
EDGE Boston
David Foucher
2.5/4
"...Greg Kinnear is particularly engaging as Papale's coach..."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
B
"It's Rocky with shoulder pads."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
2/4
"Fumbles in its telling of a story that, historically noteworthy or not, isn't dramatically potent enough for a cinematic treatment."
TheMovieBoy.com
Dustin Putman
B+
"It's a lean, efficient, classy film, uplifting without being schmaltzy."

Eric D. Snider
2.5/4
"Ultimately will be little more than another human interest story we hear during the end of a daily newscast"
eFilmCritic.com
Erik Childress
"Though familiar and cliched,
Invincible
succeeds in spite of itself because it is so technically well done and full of heart."
DVD Review
Felix Gonzalez Jr.
B
"Rather like its hero,
Invincible
overcomes the obstacles thrown in its path and emerges as a solid, if not overwhelming, performer."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
3/5
"A true story of a Philadelphia Eagles football fan who digs deep within and discovers a new life for himself beyond his wildest dreams"
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
2/4
"With
Invincible
-- hero-worship and unimaginative storytelling have caused the project to strike a sour note."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
7/10
"
Invincible
is a Walter Mitty tale, but a true one, a fantasy come to life."
DVDTown.com
John J. Puccio
1.5/5
"It drags and drags and drags."
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
B
"...a really solid film that resists gooey sentiment and delivers something that feels like it's been earned. "
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
2.5/4
"The film's depiction of life among the salt of the earth is blandly cartoonish."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
"Wahlberg... makes [it] work in a movie way... he's a sad, sweet, hurtin' guy, endearingly vulnerable, adorably masculine without being a macho idiot."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
B-
"Wahlberg brings sincerity and an easy athleticism to the role of Papale, and Elizabeth Banks has a lovely centered quality and genuine sparkle as his love interest."
Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Nell Minow
C+
"'Is that all there is?' I thought when the film was over. There is more, a lot more, just not in the film."
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
B
"The adverts for
Invincible
tout its inspirational nature and rags-to-riches story. These claims, though, are well founded and done with craftsmanship."
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
3.5/5
"About the only people bound to find fault are die-hard Giants, Cowboys, and Redskins fans"
Filmcritic.com
Sean O'Connell
"There's a danger in reducing pictures like this to the sum of their lessons, at the expense of recognizing them as satisfying, if flawed, genre exercises."
