Critic Reviews

Owen Gleiberman

Wahlberg, with shaggy hair and a pumped bod he wears more convincingly than any actor, plays Vince as a guy who truly doesn't expect to win. That makes his rib-bruising triumph all the more believable and touching. Read full review

Carrie Rickey

Core, a cinematographer who helms both camera and directorial duties here, creates a vivid sense of time and place without letting the period music, clothes or art direction intrude. The performances are likewise understated and unpretentious, especially those of Wahlberg and Kinnear. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

So yes, you'll roll your eyes when the coach defies Papale's naysayers by insisting that "he has heart." But if there's a single surprise on this familiar field, it's that the movie does, too. Read full review

William Arnold

Wahlberg is effective in the role and carries the movie nicely. Read full review

Wesley Morris

Has the problem of drifting in and out of authenticity. Read full review

Rick Kisonak

A touching, stirring story even if it has been given the Hollywood treatment. Read full review

Jennie Punter

Despite its title, the movie admirably sticks to its game plan of ennobling the everyman as opposed to turning Papale into some kind of Superman. Read full review

I am sorry for all those who didn't like the movie, but I absolutely loved it. I am not even a football fan. But I felt it showed all the things he must of felt and gone through. It even gave me the strength to go on- And even today-Vince seems down to earth and full of spirit . Iam I am sorry for all those who didn't like the movie, but I absolutely loved it.

Iam sure you parents are so proud of you and your family- I absolutely loved the film and even though it does resemble the Rocky films. Perhaps Stallone got the idea from The Vince Papali Story, NOT the other way around as one of your readers suggest. Thanks Vince for sharing your life with the rest of us.… Expand

Loved this movie ... of course, I'm a big football fan, but my wife loved it as well. Great inspirational story for people of all ages. A high school football team attended the same showing we attended. You could have heard a pin drop during the movie. I recommend it highly.

Ciekawe jak ta historia wyglądała na prawdę,a nie na potrzeby filmu... Jednak jeżeli tylko część jest prawdą, to film jest spoko, a historia życiowa mega.
