Uninspiring Drivel

Rating: 1/10 (12 February 2003)

This is a movie you will soon forget. When I first heard about this movie, I was in some ways excited about it. The story was penned by Indiana native Angelo Pizzo and was directed by David Anspaugh who teamed up and brought us "Hoosiers". Add the fact the "Rudy" is based on actual events much like "Hoosiers" was you should have a winning combination. It didn't take very long into the movie to find that certainly wasn't the case. The things that made "Hoosiers" so palatable were absent in "Rudy". Much of the dialog was contrived and ingratiating. Some of the scenes were so bathetic, that I felt as if they were trying to satirical. I would consider this to be amongst the worst films I have seen.
