Rudy (1993) Review

Daniel 'Rudy' Ruettiger (Sean Astin) is small and undersized, he has a learning disability (dyslexia) and he is one of fourteen (yes, fourteen!) children from a blue-collar family, yet he's wanted to attend Notre Dame and play on the football team since he's been a young boy.

Let's just say the odds aren't with him. His brothers, his parents, his teachers, his coaches, no one has supported him, yet he has always believed that he will attend Notre Dame and play college football.

About Celluloid Heroes

Welcome to Celluloid Heroes! Here you will find movie reviews of all shapes and sizes. No stone is left unturned, and that is meant quite literally. In fact, you are probably quite unlikely to find the best of the best, as that's something that you can find elsewhere. Here you're more likely to find the dregs of the movie world than anything else.

As to the name? It's actually from a song by The Kinks, and while it may or may not have something directly to do with movies, it does mention quite a few movie stars and things that make you think about movies, and well, it just seemed appropriate. Hopefully you'll agree, and if not, I suspect it won't get in the way too much.

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your stay, and come back often..
