Sean Astin in RUDY, a brilliant role for a brilliant actor.
The tag line for RUDY is: "if anyone ever says to you dreams don't
come true, you tell them about Rudy." That's just what I've done
since seeing RUDY when I was in high school. In fact, people
don't even have to mention the possibility of a dream not coming
true; at the mere mention of dreams alone I tell them all about
Rudy Ruettiger, and how he dreamed of going to prestigious Notre
Dame University to play football, but was small and not particularly
bright and from a blue collar family, but he didn't give up and he
kept trying, and you know what... I'm going to stop there, because I
didn't warn you folks for spoilers, and I don't want to get blocked.
But let's just say dreams do come true. They did for Rudy, anyway.
Another great reason to watch RUDY is to see the first movie Jon
Favreau and Vince Vaughn were in together. Favreau has a
sizeable part (pun intended) as D-Bob, Rudy's faithful college
buddy, and boy is he chunky in this one. I really have to give
Favreau props for shedding all that weight some time between
RUDY and SWINGERS. I'm not exaggerating, Favreau must have
weighed a deuce and a half back when RUDY was made. Vince
Vaughn plays a football team mate, but it's a very small part. Back
to Favreau, though... he was HUGE. I'm very interested to find out
how he lost the weight.
