Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!

Rating: 9/10 (3 April 2001)

Naturally assumes its rightful place among the great sports films of our time. It can easily go punch for punch and hit for hit with ROCKY, THE NATURAL, or FIELD OF DREAMS. It is the classic story of the underdog beating all of the odds to succeed on his own terms. Sean Astin doesn't perform Rudy, he simply is Rudy, and on his shoulders we are carried along on a great ride (and on a second viewing, for fun, try to spot SWINGERS buddies Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau). A great sports movie, a great family movie, a great movie. Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!
