Never give up.

Based on a true story. Worth my time. Rudy, had a dream that he ultimately decided to persue no matter what the obsticles were. He took on the responsibility required and did the hard stuff. A lot of heart & soul in this story.

Best, most inspiring sports film ever

This is a great movie to give to your sons and grandsons. Through sheer determination and guts this true story of a young man who, against all odds, fulfills his dream to play on the football team and graduate from Notre Dame. To quote the Notre Dame groundskeeper "you're five foot nothing, weigh a hundred and nothing and don't have a lick of athletic ability, and you are on the Notre Dame football team."

True story of perseverance

Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger grew up dreaming of playing football at Notre Dame. Unfortunately, he lacked the physical skills to play football at that level and the grades and money to attend Notre Dame. His father and friends work in a steel mill, and they dismiss his ambition as an impossible goal. However, Rudy is not deterred, while working in the steel mill, he saves some money and continues to hold tight to his dream. Rudy takes a bus to the campus of Notre Dame and tells a friendly priest that he wants to play football for Notre Dame. All he lacks are physical skills, tuition money and the proper high school grades. The priest gets him into nearby Holy Cross College so that he can bring up his grades. Rudy does everything he can to be around the football team, even volunteering to work on the field for free. Perseverance and dedication pay off and Rudy is eventually admitted to Notre Dame, and he immediately joins the team as a walk-on. Even though he is generally outclassed on the field, he never gives up and keeps trying. When the last game is to be played and Rudy is left off the dress list, the scholarship players express their desire to give up their position on the dress list so that Rudy can dress for the final game. The captain is the first to approach the coach and when told, “You are an All-American and a team captain, you need to act like it.” The response is one of the greatest lines to be uttered in a sports movie, “I am acting like a captain.” There is a climactic ending that is stirring and can easily bring a tear to your eye. Unlike sports movies that end with a success in the big game at the end, this one simply has a man achieving an incredible dream. Which is better than most of the big game heroics in other movies.

My favorite movie of all time

I've watched this movie probably 100 times through the years. The movie is very close to the details of the true story. It is inspirational, giving hope for so many reasons in so many areas of life. The acting is great. I have met the real Rudy at an event here, and he was friendly and unassuming, and Sean Astin was lovely at the event as well--so furthered my enjoyment of his story. Make sure you watch the special features. I would recommend it to everyone (football fan or not) of any age--you don't want to miss this one.

Good movie but have not seen the wide screen version because I am giving this Rudy version as a Christmas gift. Should be great movie on a large screen television.
