Movie Reviews of Rudy (Special Edition)
Movie Review: Rudy
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Movie Review: Heartfelt, well-done film.
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this DVD for Christmas, and although I had previously rented it, it's still a great movie to own. Sean Astin delievers an exceptional performance as Rudy, the "underdog" who aspires to play football for Notre Dame. Football and non-football fans alike will enjoy this true story through it's well-acted performaces. Astin (as Rudy) portrays this young man with true emotion, and allows to viewer to really tap into the character. He is one of my favorite actors, and is in my opinion far under-rated, though he has of course moved onto bigger and better projects (The Lord of the Rings, he also directs), this is still where he shines. Ned Beatty and Charles S. Dutton deliever fine performances as well.
I would recommend this film to anyone looking for a happy-ever-after story. 'Rudy' has charm, heart, and of course...football. Rent it and give it a try if you've never seen it.
Movie Review: A Great Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit I never really knew who Sean Astin was till after I saw his wonderfull turn as Sam in Lord of the Rings. And I didnt seek out this movie just because I enjoyed LOTR , I actually bought it cause the price was right (cheap), I needed something new for us all to watch and Im trying to build up our DVD collection. Well ...Did you ever go to a movie everyones saying great thing about and then afterwards think " I spent 8 dollars for THAT!" or go to a bargain movie and think afterwards "Wow! That movies worth 8 dollars to see again"Well "Rudy" is def worth FULL price! And its one to see again and again. How many movies can you say that about these days?
Great acting! Wonderfull story! Its the kind of movie you wish they would make more of..The kind your glad you invested your time and money in.
Movie Review: What the USA is STILL all about
Summary: 5 Stars
Having been born out of the USA and worked and lived in France, Germany, UK (England/Scotland) and here in the USA the past 24 years (am only in my mid 40'), I have done much: I recognize true quality. This movie is a very good thank you to Daniel Ruettiger who in real life did that dream come true.
Even now, in 2008 and to come, on 148 countries, how many really are true democracies? Certainly not yet in many East EU countries, a lot of China, a dozen of countries in Africa etc...America still has got the "you can do it" and "dreams can come true attitude": not bad wisdom considering that the USA is only 222 years old (since the American constitution) and not about 2500 to 3500 years old as most other countries.
So, Rudy? Oui, watch it again and again if you ever doubt that dreams can come true.
Movie Review: Inspiration for Life
Summary: 5 Stars
I adore this gem of a movie. I admire Sean Astin anyway; he is one of the nicest men and actors I have ever met, but his lovely performance breaks your heart and re-inspires all of those dreams that you held in secret but never really believed could come true. I don't give a damn about football,but this film, made only better because it is a true story,
is something I will watch over and over again, and will play
for everyone I know.
CEOs, show this to your employees.Teachers, show this to your students. It is a beautiful reminder that even the smallest and most undistinguished of us can, with heart and effort and faith even when we fall, make our dreams come true. Inspirational, fun, exciting and
heart-warming even after many many viewings. One for the
collection!
