His grades were a little low, his athletic skills were poor, and he was only half the size of the other players. But he had the drive and the spirit of 5 people and has set his sights upon joining the team.
Rudy is showing in 1 cinema in Los Angeles — next screening Wednesday 26 August at 19:30 at Regency Theatres Van Nuys Plant 16.

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 Jerry Goldsmith's score is in my top 5 of all-time. A beautiful, earnest film with a timeless message. I'm so glad this movie exists, and I will return to it for comfort, inspiration, and joy for the rest of my life.
