Surprisingly a terrific film that's very inspirational. My sister wanted me to see this movie badly so she lent her VHS copy to me, and i didn't really want to see it since i am not usually into these kinds of movies, but how could i refuse so i decided to put in the VCR and give it a watch as i was expecting the worst, but what i got was a VERY enjoyable flick that moved me with it's great storytelling. There isn't actually that much football action , it works more on character development. The direction was EXCELLENT! David Anspaugh did a wonderful job here, with great shots of the crowd very cool shots of the football action, and moving it along at a perfect pace. I found the players protesting and putting there jersey's on the Coach's desk protesting not to play in the game unless Rudy does very cool. The acting is Possibly Oscar Worthy. Sean Astin who i normally can't stand gives an Oscar worthy performance here, he is this film and he Carey's it on his back an OUTSTANDING just OUTSTANDING performance here, he is so incredibly likable too!, Way to go Sean!!!!!!!!!!. Joe Faverau was great as Rudy's best friend i liked him. Ned Beatty did good as Rudy's father but didn't have to do much. Charles Dutton was AWESOME here and he is a kick ass actor! and i loved every minute he was on screen!. Scott Benjaminson was very good as the selfish jealous brother. and Christopher Reed did great here in his short role and i was pretty sad when his character died!. Overall a Must see for everyone! ****1/2 out of 5
