Movie Reviews of Rudy (Special Edition)

Movie Review: If you like to hear a lot of cussing. . .
Summary: 3 Stars

This was a gift - I would not pick such a movie. The story is good and inspiring, but the cussing increases as the movie progresses. So, if you like cussing, this movie is for you - there is no shortage of foul words here.

Summary of Rudy (Special Edition)

All his life people have told Rudy he s not good enough not smart enough not big enough. But nothing can stop his impossible dream of playing football for Notre Dame.From the time he s a young boy Rudy (Sean Astin) is determined to join the Fighting Irish. But his blue-collar family only laughs at his ambitions -- they know Rudy will follow his father and brother to the local steel mill. And for four long years after high school he does just that. But some dreams won t die as Rudy proves when he goes to heroic occasionally hilarious lengths to win admission to Notre Dame. Once there he becomes a walk-on player serving as little more than a human tackling dummy against the startling players. Bloodied but unbeaten Rudy wins the respect of legendary coach Ara Parseghian and the other Irish players who give him one shot at gridiron glory. An incredible true story from the creators of Hoosiers Rudy is an unforgettable testament to the power of dreams and the triumph of the common man.System Requirements:Starring: Sean Astin Ned Beatty Charles S.

This 1993 film by David Anspaugh (Hoosiers) is slowly building a reputation as a minor highlight of '90s movies. Based on a true story, Rudy stars Sean Astin as Rudy Ruettiger, a blue-collar kid whose father (Ned Beatty) worships Notre Dame football but who would never dare to dream that any of his sons could be a part of the team. The film is entirely about Ruettiger's ceaseless if sometimes wavering commitment toward that goal, despite tremendous obstacles in physical stature, education requirements, the dismissiveness of coaches, poverty, his father's envy, and endless delays of one kind or another. This is the sort of film that looks back on a life and says the battle was its own reward, not the glory. Astin is very moving as a boy who becomes a man and watches his world change, often in unexpected ways, through painful determination. Great support from Beatty, Lili Taylor as a hometown girl, and Robert Prosky and Charles S. Dutton as two valuable mentors. --Tom Keogh
