Rudy

One of my all-time favorite Sports Movies is Rudy. I was lucky enough to recently acquire a copy of this movie. As with my other favorite sports movies, Rudy is about much more than sports, or football in this case. It is based on a true story of one kid's dream to attend and play football for Notre Dame, the mecca of College Football. From his youth he tells people of this dream and is consistently told he couldn't do it. Rudy sets out to prove them wrong by leaving home and moving to South Bend. Acquiring the dream of attending Notre Dame is only the first hurdle in his quest to play for Notre Dame. This movie has taken on a completely different meaning for me after completing college and understanding the difficulties that come with being a student. Rudy is a good clean movie that everyone in the family can learn a life lesson from.
