[Really three-and-a-half out of four stars] Not as good as 'Miracle', but inspiring nonetheless!
Sean Astin's best to date, and maybe 'Rock's
too! Real life story about 5'9", 175 lb. LB
Rudy Ruddiger, who FINALLY gets into game @
Notre Dame for two plays @ end of 5th rSr
season. How about the profanities and taking
the lord's name in vain by Dan Devine look
alike in here, at 'TD Jesus U.'?! What was
up with that outburst? Nonetheless a fine
but flawed film. Lot more to the Rudy story
that didn't get told but then we are talking
about Hollyweird! - R.A.S

Great for kids
I just watched this with my nephew, a 10 year old who wants to play football some day. What a great movie for a kid his age! Not just because of the whole "follow your dreams" message but also because it's just an entertaining movie. You get a real sense of how someone can accomplish a lot with nothing more than his own motivation and desires.

Rudy
Rudy is based on a true story about a young boy (played by Sean Astin) growing up in a blue-collar family with a dream to someday go to college and play football at Notre Dame. His family and teachers say he's not smart enough, not athletic enough, and why doesn't he accept his fate working in the local steel mill with his father and brothers. He refused to let his dream die and becomes a walk-on player.

The original movie came out in 1993. Sean Astin was in The Lord of the Rings. Ned Beatty portrays his father. David Anspaugh is the director.

Rudy is one of my all-time favorite movies. The acting is wonderful, especially Sean Astin's performance. The fact that it is a true story kept me watching from the beginning to the end. The music score is well written and inspirational.

I would recommend Rudy to anyone, young or old, who has a dream and needs the inspiration to pursue it.
