Rudy

“*Rudy* is a quintessential underdog triumph, anchored by Sean Astin’s earnest, heart-on-his-sleeve performance that elevates the film’s earnest, blue-collar sentimentality. While its narrative follows a traditional sports-drama blueprint, the expert pacing and Jerry Goldsmith’s stirring score make it an essential watch for anyone who appreciates a sincere, emotionally resonant story about the power of persistence.”
