Invincible-mania Scores Raves For… Tony Luke?
You’re already saying “No, no!” But friends, Hollywood is saying… yes.
From Sports Illustrated:
“Invincible is the most fun during its open-tryout sequence. The scene is stolen by a fat guy in a green cape — he is both completely ridiculous and, at the same time, a strangely plausible representation of a mid-1970s Eagles fan. He flies around the practice field like a superhero who doesn’t know he doesn’t have any superpowers. He’s a complete goof. He has never has any shot at making the team, but he has more fun in that one scene than Wahlberg appears to in his entire climb up the ladder.”
And it doesn’t stop there. From FoxSports:
“Serious sports movies usually have a hard time being genuinely funny. The scene at the open tryout was downright hysterical, especially the lunatic who showed up wearing a green cape and leotards. (In real life, this guy is actually South Philly cheesesteak mogul Tony Luke.) The other two happen later in the movie ‚Äî I won’t spoil the surprise.”
