Excellent Story, Wonderful Acting, but peculiar cinematography

Rating: 9/10 (17 May 2006)

I saw this film on DVD this weekend for the first time and I was thoroughly impressed. I did actually cry tears of joy at the end for the beauty of this story. It represents everything that 'Rudy', 'Miracle', and all other true stories about overcoming odds do. Shea was absolutely amazing. I couldn't believe how wonderful he was. I do hope to continue to see him in future films. The music was somewhat peculiar, but very fitting. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 was because of the strange, strange cinematography. The opening credits were so weird!! The camera angles were weird as well. But, overall a very good film. A must see family film.
