A very pleasant surprise

Rating: 8/10 (7 January 2001)

If you haven't seen this movie....do yourself a favour and watch it. I thoroughly enjoyed all the performances, especially Sean Astin as Rudy. He completely carries this movie, which although "hokey" at times, really comes through at the end. A lot happens during the 8 years or so that the movie covers, but Rudy's determination to realise his dream has you rooting for him all the way.
