Rudy grew up in a steel mill town where most people ended up working, but wanted to play football at Notre Dame instead. There were only a couple of problems. 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.
Editor's Verdict
"Rudy is a classic sports drama focused entirely on the protagonist's aspiration to play football for Notre Dame. There is no significant presence of Christmas setting, plot elements, iconography, or thematic relevance to qualify it as a Christmas movie based on the established criteria."
