I've seen this movie twenty times, and I've smiled and cried harder each time I've seen it. The true story of Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger, a kid whose dreams outpaced his abilities, is a shining beacon of persistence and tenacity. Sean Astin is wonderful in the title role, and…

celiaFeb 21, 2021This film is a bit like its protagonist. It doesn´t really excel at what it does, but it makes up for it with heart, charm, and passion. “Rudy” is a quintessential underdog sports drama and an uplifting and inspiring ode to the human spirit. No aspect of filmmaking really…

I wanted Sean Astin to have the world in this movie. So inspiring, touching and uplifting. I got way too emotional watching this on a plane.

- Marshall Scott is "meh" onRudy
Note a bad movie but I found it extremely boring. Don’t understand the hype like everyone else. 4/10
Kaden Lirely lovedRudy10 | “Well, you know what my dad always said, Having dreams is what makes life tolerable.” This movie was incredible. It is my favorite feel good sports movie, and it is one of my favorite movies. I’ve never felt myself rooting for the protagonist more than I did in this movie.
Eitan Koppelman likedRudyThis movie is pretty amazing. The story, motivation, & execution is top tier and this is one of the greats. Even if you’re not a football fan, watch this. It tells the story of a boy who was told he wasn’t good enough, he went against all odds and proved everyone wrong. 8.4/10

I don’t see how you can not be in tears at the end. Inspiring story about resilience despite what people say, even if it’s your own family and friends. Always “Do You.” This is a classic!
Brandon Letosky likedRudyA really great story of someone that keeps getting continously knocked down but fighting anyways. The adversity on Rudy is amazing. Great motivational film! Rudy, Rudy, Rudy!!
Mickerdoo lovedRudyA quintessential don’t give up on your dreams movie. Astin sells the part. You really feel like you triumph with him. Great supporting.
- Platypus Lord likedRudy
Pretty good. Didn't quite have the invigorating high points that I expected based on its audience acclaim, but it's a good story.
Rubie Kelly lovedRudyLovely, feel good movie. Enjoyable cast and just an all round perfect Sunday evening movie to sit and enjoy in a food coma.
Garrison likedRudyI know it’s only like 40% accurate in terms of a bio but as a feel good “good guy does well” sports film I love it

Metacritic
Astin'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.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Sweet-natured and unsurprising, about as hard to resist (and as intellectually demanding) as an affectionate puppy, this is one of those Never Say Die, I Gotta Be Me, Somebody Up There Likes Me sports movies that no amount of cynicism can make much of a dent in.
Kenneth Turan
Los Angeles Times
Rudy 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.
