Rudy grew up in a steel mill town where most people ended up working, but wanted to play football at Notre Dame instead. There were only a couple of problems. His grades were a little low, his athletic skills were poor, and he was only half the size of the other players. But he had the drive and the spirit of 5 people and has set his sights upon joining the team.

I really, really enjoyed watching Rudy. I didn't go out of my way to watch it as it was airing on TV so I originally put it on as background sound but it's suddenly become a favourite! I loved every second of it and it's filled with so much emotion, very very motivating. **10/10**

If your idea of an inspirational story includes a manipulative protagonist that complains every step of the way, this is your movie. I call it more of a cautionary tale.

Somehow, I had never seen this movie. I knew its premise and seen many of the scenes. While it will likely not be one I turn on for preferred sports films, this is a quality movie and I am happy to finally check this one off the list! Rating: 3.5/5 - 80% - Would Recommend

Rudy has to be the most entitled sports movie protagonist I've ever seen. Claims it's been his dream since he was a kid to go to Notre Dame, and seemingly did absolutely nothing up until his senior year of high school to actually get himself there. When talking to the priest he says he's willing to More

Based on a true story from 1975, ‘Rudy’ is a film about courage, gritty determination, and not giving up on your dreams. Rudy Ruettiger, played by Sean Astin, is an underachieving football player with dreams of attending the University of Notre Dame and playing on the football team. However, his More

Rudy is a beloved sports film about overcoming the odds - based on the real life figure Rudy Ruettiger (portrayed by Sean Astin, best known as Samwise Gamgee from The Lord of the Rings trilogy).

As I've mentioned in recent reviews, I adore sports movies. Sure, th More
