 Classic, wonderful movie!Apr 02, 2010
This is an excellent movie! Based on a true story, it is all about perserverance, and I would recommend it to everyone. This is a movie that can be watched over and over.

Absolutely Wonderful - My Favorite Sports MovieNov 08, 2009
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.
 Formulaic, but very good.Sep 21, 2009
Predictable but moving nonetheless. Jerry Goldsmith's score helps, and Sean Astin puts in a 5-star performance. Not as dark--nor as great, ultimately--as Hoosiers (also by director David Anspaugh).
The weakest part of the movie to me was the romantic interest (the booster club girl).
Might as well get this "Special Edition" (2000) over the later "Deluxe Edition" (2003).
On a personal note, I met Ara Parseghian at a charity dinner. I always thought that Jason Miller (who plays Ara in the movie) looked a lot more like Joe Paterno!
My favorite line from the movie?

This is one of my favorite movies. GREAT that it is a true story. The real Rudy is behind the dad in the bleachers at the end of the movie.
