| Better than "Rocky" (by jgil-1) |
| This movie was dubbed a football version of "Rocky" except for one exception --it is an actual true story!! If you can watch "Rudy" and not have a lump in your throat during several scenes, especially the ending, then you are a hard to please critic!! This movie deserved much better than the 7.1 than the "critics" gave it. Sean Austin did a magnificent job playing overachieving Rudy and for those who ridiculed the fact that he only played a few seconds at the end of a lopsided game missed the whole point of the story. Rudy's dream was to play football at <more> |
| Believe (by andyr89) |
| Rudy is a story that pulls at every heart string and emotions you possibly could have. Why? Well it doesn't have to do with the actors, though they are all great. It doesn't have to do with the filming, it isn't what draws us in. It is one thing. The one major fact.The True Story. To watch and see how Rudy overcomes every obstacle he faces. To see how Rudy truly triumphs, even if it isn't the best possible success for someone, for Rudy it is everything.This movie is a story that teaches a lesson. It is about football, but it is about believing. Never giving up. Always giving <more> |
| The Most Inspiring Movie Ever!!!! (by don_the_bomb) |
| RUDY is the greatest football movie of all time. Wait, did I say 'football movie'? I meant movie. Period. Between the gut-wrenching acting by Sean Astin, tear-jerking moments of the climax, the miraculous true story of a short man fighting to make his lifelong dreams come true, you'll be rooting for Rudy throughout the film. Rudy's dream is a selfless act of triumph that can do nothing but good for the entire human race. You can't help but ride right along with Rudy for the roller-coaster of emotions that ensues, leading up to the greatest moment of his life, a moment that <more> |
| Classic tale.....'if you wish hard enough' (by Hammy-5) |
| Waited two years to see this film, because of being on this side of the pond. Was I disappointed after this long wait?No way. Fantastic story, very well told.Acting, from all concerned, is....well, real. These people are their characters. The look and feel of the movie date back to an earlier time. The film is never rushed and the story is allowed to unfold at its own pace.Did I have a tear in my eye at the end, too bloody right I did. If you don't then you are not human.First class. |
| good, very good (by jefonline) |
| You don't have to be a Notre Dame fan, or even a football fan to like this movie, although it certainly makes it more fun to watch. This one gave me a good look at the impact that this particular school has or had when it comes to football in the United States. It's kind of hard to believe that all this actually happened at South Bend way back in 1975. Does that mean that it never happened anywhere else at all in history? That's kind of off-topic here, but it was good to watch nonetheless. This movie shows you what can happen when you decide you want to do something bad enough <more> |
| Also see Angelo Pizzo's Other Masterpieces - Hoosiers and The Miracle Match (by gbshuler) |
| Imagine a great painter - a master if you will. What if he or she only painted 3 or 4 works in their career but their work was adored by millions? Angelo Pizzo is like that. His first screenplay, Hoosiers, was widely acknowledged as the best sports movie ever made because, of course.. like Rudy, it's not about sports . It took years for Rudy to follow but it was worth the wait. Years after Rudy, Pizzo wrote The Game of Their Lives renamed to The Miracle Match . If you loved Rudy, make a point to see these other films. You will love them.This film is about the human heart -- it's <more> |
| Inspirational Movie (by LebowskiT1000) |
| This is a great film about going for your dreams and never giving up. No matter who tells you that you can't do it, no matter how unlikely the chances are, no matter what, make sure you go for your dreams and do everything that you can make them come true.Sean Astin delivers one of his best performances to date. He plays the character of Rudy Ruettiger perfectly! He was an excellent choice for the role and he deserves a great deal of credit for his work as does the true life Rudy . The rest of the cast was quite good as well; Jon Favreau, Ned Beatty, Lili Taylor, Charles Dutton, Robert <more> |
| Today's spoiled athletes should take notes (by Agent10) |
| One of my favorite football movies of all time, this film follows in the long tradition of great sports movies which can uplift the spirit through means other than winning the big game and getting the girl or some other typical Hollywood convention. The music, cinematography and acting was excellent in this film, especially considering the terrible film choices Sean Astin had before embarking on this movie. While this was really an homage to Notre Dame football, a person could really look at Rudy and see a little of themselves inside the relatively small man. Charles Dutton had one of the <more> |
| Better that I expected (by gwenivere_pendragon) |
| To be completely honest, I was actually impressed with this film. It is sweet, but there is an honesty and a strong sense of realism at the heart of this film, which to me, provides the base of its appeal. "Rudy", unlike the majority of films about athletes, paints a picture of the real everyman basically, the jock who isn't a jock and it does so in a way that is plausible from start to finish. Working hard, eating, breathing and sleeping the game does not mean that you will wind up the star quarterback. Rudy's struggles are genuine: his family is poor and has never sent <more> |
