You’ll like Invincible if you want an uplifting underdog sports drama with a big-hearted, feel-good tone; Not for you if you dislike formulaic inspirational movies like Rudy or Glory Road.
Pros: uplifting underdog spirit; strong lead performance; enjoyable sports tension | Cons: some predictable beats; a bit light on punch; takes liberties with history
