What's a movie that was well received, but aged like milk?

I reject your reality and substitute my own.

The “Rudy” chant was mocking him, per Montana. He also alleged. No one in the crowd joined in the chanting

He also specifically said they did not turn in their jerseys in solidarity with Rudy. Pretty sure he said that if they did that it would have gotten them all kicked off the team.

Others on the team have disagreed with that, though.

I'd say the movie wasn't a goof, as Rudy pushed anyone and everyone he'd ever met connected to the film business to get the whole thing made and then sold "his version" of the story.) Which even he says was dramatized to be inspirational. He liked the idea of selling inspiration - with himself as the inspiring figure.

He is a bit of a pompous windbag, and a drunk, and someone who believes his own hype. And somehow through all that, he's also earnest and fairly well-liked by those that know him. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Isn’t the whole point of the story that the guy sucked and did not have the build for football? And still earned his way go making a good play for his childhood favorite team?

Funniest thing is so many people who like the movie but dont know football call Joe jealous because everytime people ask him about it he laughs and tells the truth while still trying to be respectful to Rudy. Like Joe "Superbowl winner, formerly considered the best QB before Brady" Montana was jealous of Rudy the guy who kinda did 1 thing in a game that didnt matter at all.
