I have heard it said by students at the university where I am employed that RUDY is an "epic" tale. This is a vast overstatement from a generation who feel that Avatar and it's superficiality has greater worth than the classics. I wonder what is happening to our world. Actually we know... yet it still causes wonder. RUDY is a tale of hopes and determination. This type of literature (movie or print) is always of worth to a imploding society. It allows those who are not yet drowned in it to have something to cling to and possibly remain afloat. There is courage and a tenacity in the heart and actions of this young man that is becoming societally obsolete. Family life is accurately depicted as volatile and contemptuous with members who despise RUDY'S dreams due to the fact that their own lives echo nothing of improvement or ambition. RUDY'S unconquerable spirit and actions show them all that they aren't and it burns in them like a coal fire, breeding contempt and scorn for this brother who serves as a wonderful example for us all. More really about dreams than sports, this film will inspire and lift.Read full review
Since the story is about a real person. If you like football you will love this movie. Many of the scenes are on the practice field. You can almost smell the grass. Several scenes show just what a pressure cooker there is in college sports(football). I am not very good with words. I believe if you watch this movie you will come away with a sense that even though our world is imperfect, you can do something about your own life to make it better.

This is a great movie, especailly for anyone that has a child that is in sports. The lesson it teaches and the message it delivers is one that will only help guide us all through life with deginity, respect and grace even at those moments when we are faced with challenges that are out of our control. It is also a really a great move for the entire family, which is so hard to find.
Love this movie. family fun and fast action and determination to keep going and accomplish your goal in live
