Good for dreamers, but great for those who never dream!!

Rating: 9/10 (5 October 2003)

This movie is one of my favorites, and among the most re-watchable films I've seen (almost as good as The Shawshank Redemption for pure enjoyment). This is a good movie for dreamers, so inspiring. But I think it is an even better movie for those who have never had a dream, or who have never had to work for anything... just to show them what some people will endure to achieve a goal. I gave this movie to my teenage nephew, a big boy and wonderful football player who has never had to work for a place on a team... I hope it shows him that not everyone can achieve their goals so easily. Mayhap it will inspire him in other aspects of his life. I hope so.

If you have the DVD, watch the extra footage with the "real" Rudy... he is amazing. Sean Astin did a fantastic job portraying this incredible man.
