Trivia:
Vince Papale is actually a native of Delaware County, PA. His home, the High School he taught at, and the bar in which he worked, are all located in the towns of Glenolden and Prospect Park, respectively. Disney executives decided on making Papale from South Philadelphia as this more neatly fit the script, and was more easily identifiable to a national audience. He taught at Interboro High School, located on Amosland Avenue, Prospect Park PA. The bar in which he worked is now called "Pogue Mahones," located on Chester Pike in Prospect Park, PA. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: During the opening kick off against the Dallas Cowboys, the camera follows Vince as he rushes towards the kick returner. During this run, the camera captures several Eagles players getting knocked down in front of Vince. By the time Vince gets within sight of the ball carrier, he himself is blocked/knocked down. If you are counting the number of Eagles players knocked down during the first part of the return, you'll count 13 instances of players getting leveled. Standard NFL Rules, a team can only have 11 players on the field - which leads the film to a gross over exaggeration of the play. moreSoundtrack:

An 
company.
I just came from and advanced screening tonight and it was an entertaining feel-good movie. The movie is based on a true "local guy makes good" story, and quite entertaining (although after searching online for Papale, it appears that they may have taken a bit of dramatic license with some of the details). The story telling and acting were good. I think Kinnear's presentation of Dick Vermeil (I remember seeing Vermeil on the local T.V. a lot back then) was outstanding. Mark Wahlberg gave a credible performance as a determined underdog here, he seems to be maturing as an actor, and from what I could tell was in good physical condition to play this role. Kirk Acevado and Mark Raspoli put in good supporting performances as (sometime) supportive friends and relatives. The movie is an O.K. family movie if you don't mind a bit of swearing and sports/football violence (tackles, blocks and those sorts of things).
I grew up in eastern Pennsylvania, and can remember the atmosphere in my home town and, to a lesser extent, Philadelphia at that time. The decline of manufacturing, labor disputes and unemployment/hardship on workers and their families was well presented. My recollections of the Eagles were that the team was pretty weak and the fans being very vocal in their disappointment (this is a Philadelphia tradition for all their sports, it isn't just reserved for football). Among my favorite scenes is some neighborhood football that brought back some memories (although our games were a bit less brutal). There are a number of funny scenes in the movie and quick one-liners (which I won't spoil here).
