Review of Rudy (1993) by Danny O — 16 Jan 2015

Rudy is a good sports drama, though it isn't without its flaws. Sean Astin is great, and the rest of the cast is pretty good. The story is simple yet effective, it makes you feel for the character.

Some of the writing needed improvement, it was a bit cheesy at times. Its exactly what you'd expect, a fairly predictable yet enjoyable and well made movie about the underdog. Its well made, but doesn't do anything new for the genre or to make you remember it that well.

Rudy is still a good movie though, despite being a bit derivative. Rudy gets 3/5 stars (B-).
