I must say I felt dissatisfied and disappointed after watching this movie..It was so hyped up and boy did it fail to live up to the hype...BTW if Rudy was that good ,both coaches would have found a way to include him in the starting team regardless of his size...I also detest the portrayal of Dan Devine(The head coach at the end)..Being changed to be a true life story..it's so unfair to The actual Dan Devine to be portrayed as some jerk who wouldn't let our "Hero" play some ball..In the real life situation however it was Dan Devine who actually decided to give Rudy a chance..it had nothing to do with Rudy agitating for it..or his team mates' symbolic gesture...
