Summary: The Power of a Dream!
Review: Underneath the story of college football, Notre Dame and obstacles galore is the power of a dream and the determination of a young man name Rudy Ruettiger(Sean Astin)to play college football for his beloved Fighting Irish."Rudy" remains to be one of the greatest films at portraying sheer determination. Everything, about this film is wonderful, from the performance of the skeptical father (Ned Beatty) to Rudy's incredulous and irritating older brother. Wonderful music, cinimatography and excellent screenplay. This film is a winner through and through. What holds this film together is the grit of one undersized Rudy Reuttiger who faces wave after wave of obstacles the pound him like the unmerciful Irish lineman in the film. This film should be required viewing from the company boardroom to the high school locker, quite simply if you're not moved in the least, you may not have a pulse let alone a dream for that matter. This is not just a great sports film, but a great film about preserverance; a lesson very few learn to this extent. Rudy is absolutely inspiring.

Summary: Inspiration for Life
Review: I adore this gem of a movie. I admire Sean Astin anyway; he is one of the nicest men and actors I have ever met, but his lovely performance breaks your heart and re-inspires all of those dreams that you held in secret but never really believed could come true. I don't give a damn about football,
but this film, made only better because it is a true story,
is something I will watch over and over again, and will play
for everyone I know. CEOs, show this to your employees.Teachers, show this to your students. It is a beautiful reminder that even the smallest and most undistinguished of us can, with heart and effort and faith even when we fall, make our dreams come true. Inspirational, fun, exciting and
heart-warming even after many many viewings. One for the
collection!

Review: Who can go long without another dose of Rudy. No matter what you aspire to be in life (short, slow football player???), the lessons learned in this video and true story can inspire you to keep on the path of obtaining your goals. The story is great and keeps you rooting for Rudy. The acting is superb. The message and theme is fantastic. One of the best movies ever made.

Summary: A Great Movie!
Review: I have to admit I never really knew who Sean Astin was till after I saw his wonderfull turn as Sam in Lord of the Rings. And I didnt seek out this movie just because I enjoyed LOTR , I actually bought it cause the price was right (cheap), I needed something new for us all to watch and Im trying to build up our DVD collection. Well ...Did you ever go to a movie everyones saying great thing about and then afterwards think " I spent 8 dollars for THAT!" or go to a bargain movie and think afterwards "Wow! That movies worth 8 dollars to see again"
Well "Rudy" is def worth FULL price! And its one to see again and again. How many movies can you say that about these days?
Great acting! Wonderfull story! Its the kind of movie you wish they would make more of..The kind your glad you invested your time and money in.

Summary: I've been ready for this my whole life
Review: This is a classic movie of an underdog going against all odds and proving many people wrong; that dreams can come true and the impossible is possible. There simply was no quit in Rudy. If there's a difference from the original DVD of "Rudy" and this one, I do not know. It's a great movie to buy or rent. Either way, you get to see a kid become a man with his heart, his brains, his determination, and his ability to take pain.

Summary: Ranks up with the best ever
Review: The only reason this movie has only 4 stars is because the newer version of Brian's Song has 5 and I bought these both at the same time. It doesn't quite match the unparalleled sorrow of Brian's Song but Rudy is a great story of triumph rather than sorrow. All Rudy wants to do is play football for the Fighting Irish. After being told all of his life that he's too small and too inexperienced, he finally gets into Notre Dame. Now it's time to try for this once in a lifetime chance to play football for the team of his dreams. This movie is a definite if you want a collection of the classics of the past few decades. I definitely don't regret spending my money on it.

Summary: This is NOT just another sports movie!
Review: For the record, I must admit that I am an anomaly. I am a 36 year-old male, and I don't give a hooey about football, or sports in general. Yet, "Rudy" is one of my favorite movies. OK, I suppose if you love football, you will get an extra ten yards out of this film. But this film is mainly about the triumph of the human spirit over the chiding of the nay-sayers. The acting is uniformly excellent. This is a "feel good" movie that will have you standing in front of your TV cheering, "Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!" right along with the 59,000 other fans in the final incredibly uplifting scene. That's right ... the final scene was filmed during half-time at an actual Notre Dame game! Today I suppose the film maker would fill the stands with CGI fans just because they can, but there is no way CGI could even come close to the energy of that final sequence during a live game! Watch this film, even if you hate football, and it may just become one of your favorites anyway.

Summary: Awesome! feel-good-movie
Review: There have been many movies that move the spirit of man but this one has captured all of the imagination. It is a story of triumph of one man over the elements. When Rudy's family and friends continued to say to him that he is not good enough for the Irish football team he sets off to fulfill his dream. Even when others say it isn't possible... one man did make it possible in the end.It makes you jump with joy to see the reward for perservience.In the end Rudy's father who did not believe in him at the beginning was the loudest supporter. This is also a true story. A must for every one's library.
