Leave your thoughts about Rudy.
| Common Sense MediaScott G. MignolaInspiring sports film about a real life underdog. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA salute to a pint-sized football player with heart |
| Seattle TimesJeff ShannonUnlike "The Program," the other current football movie which pales in comparison, Rudy (which spans 1972-'75) is uncompromisingly truthful to its story and characters. Graced with Anspaugh's respect for authenticity, there's not a false note from anyone in the well-chosen cast, which includes Ned Beatty as Rudy's dad, whose disapproval of Rudy's dream is a cautious act of love; Charles S. Dutton as the stadium groundskeeper who offers quiet support; and Jason Miller ("The Exorcist") as legendary coach Ara Parseghian, who rewards Rudy's tenacity with a place on the varsity practice squad. |
| VarietyLeonard KladyRudy is one of those beating-the-odds tales that no one does better than Hollywood. A film that hits all the right emotional buttons, it's an intelligent , sentimental drama that lifts an audience to its feet cheering. In the current filmgoing climate, this is an easy winning touchdown that should score big returns. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertAstin's performance is so self-effacing, so focused and low-key, that we lose sight of the underdog formula and begin to focus on this dogged kid who won't quit. And the last big scene is an emotional powerhouse, just the way it's supposed to be. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyWell acted but overly familiar and sentimental sports tale of the underdog |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranUnderneath its rah-rah spirit, the PG-rated Rudy is straightforward enough to raise, albeit unintentionally, some troubling questions. |
| Chicago TribuneJohanna SteinmetzAnspaugh, whose "Hoosiers" showed he knows from feel-good movies, directs this story as if he were conducting "Bolero," carefully building climax upon climax as the story spirals to an underdog triumph every bit as tearful as that of "Rocky." |
| Old School ReviewsJohn A. Nesbitcontinues to make life seem a little better |
| Independent on SundayQuentin CurtisSo sentimental it moves you to laughter rather than tears. |
