Review of Rudy (1993) by James S — 26 Nov 2010

I must say that I was dissappointed. I know that Rudy has been called one of the best sports films of all time, but I did not walk away with that feeling. To me, it was more of a sappy boy conqueres world film set with a football atmosphere.

I found the film flat. I was told that the ending (I will not divulge) was a real tear-jerker, but the film falls short of that. So many things were left out...for me, the two biggest was how he paid tuition and the work he put in on his classwork at Notre Dame.

A nice true story, but not a believable film.
