Movie Reviews of Rudy (Special Edition)
Movie Review: Absolutely Wonderful - My Favorite Sports Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit that for as long as this movie has been out, I hadn't seen it until recently. I was throughly impressed. Yes, a movie script is going to be different from reality because they have to fit years of actual experience into something under two hours; however, I thought it was done very, very well.
The special interviews were fantastic to watch after viewing the movie and realizing that many of the elements that I wondered were true or not actually were true. If you haven't seen it, I won't give it away, but watch the special features and you may be surprised.
You can search YouTube to watch the actual footage of the last few minutes of the game in which Rudy played.
This is by far my favorite sports movie (and there are some good ones out there). I love how the movie depicts years and years of hard work leading up to his dream whereas other sports movies, the team or player become whipped into shape during one short season.
Great movie.
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 FightingThis 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
