Stories and anecdotes surrounding a 1940's suburban family in Rockaway Beach, New York during the golden age of radio. Thick with nostalgia and Woody Allen's trademark humor.
*Watch for a young Seth Green as Woody Allen's eleven year old alter ego.
Nostalgic, humorous backwards glance to when entertainment meant imagination. Recommended.
Although Woody Allen is always weakest when nostalgic - indulgence leads to caricature and overstatement - Radio Days is still fun and pleasant to watch. Set at the start of World War II, the film follows the fortunes of a family of Jewish underachievers. Mia Farrow shines...( read more)
A sweet, enjoyable and sometimes touching love letter to the golden age of radio. Woody Allen offers no real plot or story so much as a collection of memories from his childhood. The opening scene is classic Allen and utterly hilarious. Radio Days has great set and costume design...( read more)
Love the story, actors, music, everything in this Woody Allen movie is funny and real. The cast is awesome!!
With the usual Allen touch, this story emphasizes the great influence of the radio during WWII days in a charming and funny way, without losing way too much realism.
81/100
Perhaps one of Woody Allen's most truthful and nostalgic films. I could really sense the love that he had for this time period. I loved how it was so funny and sweet, yet so realistic. What an excellent film!
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Radio Days" !
