Rudy shines!

Rating: Null/10 (16 January 2007)

Rudy is an outstanding film. It is so much more than just a "football movie." It is a great portrait of Notre Dame Football at its best, The brewing, underdog tensions of the film are excellently portrayed in a very real way. After their initial mistrust and hostility, the players' realizations that they are a team and not that different after all is really riveting to watch, Each of the prominent players has a distinct personality and is portrayed very well. I can't say how great this film is for everybody, not just football fans. I think this film deserves to at least be nominated for a best picture Academy Award, and possibly best adapted screenplay as well. I give it a 10 out of 10.
Sean Astin did a pheonmenal job!
