Toy Story 2
100%TomatometerSome things are too good to shelve.
BIG FEELINGS
Rudy.
The dream is bigger than the jersey.
Rudy leaves a steel-mill town determined to study at Notre Dame and play football there. Academic setbacks, limited money and his small size make the goal unlikely, but he keeps working toward a place on the practice squad.
Why it’s a little special
Sean Astin gives an underdog sports story a stubborn, hopeful center; the years of effort matter as much as the final game.
BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
A fatal workplace accident, grief, rough football practices, drinking and profanity. This dramatization changes some events and people from the real story.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
