    Not for nonbelievers, this is the way of the slave trade families that never happens, thought is provoking much too many in puppetry.

    Cuba Gooding Junior was quite impressive in the role of a mentally challenged boy who unites a town with his difference. I didnt expect to like this movie, and I was pleasently surprised

    This was a pretty good movie. It was really sad at parts but it seemed to be a great message to the audience.

    I really liked this movie, Cuba Gooding Jr plays a psycholigically handicapped young man who loves to listen to music. He is called Radio because of his interest for the radio. He likes to wander around the local football field and watch the players play football. Several players...( read more) like to harrass Radio but the coach sees some qualities in Radio that he really likes. So the coach starts fighting for Radio's rights and wellbeing. A very touching story and very well played by these talented actors.

    This is quite a powerful film.
    Cuba Gooding Jr. turns in a brilliant performance as the mentally challenged loner James Robert Kennedy nicknamed "Radio" due to his vintage radio collection in which one is always in his hand playing music he loves, and gives a "score" to his lone...( read more)ly existence of pushing a grocery cart up and down the streets of a South Carolina town.
    Ed Harris is brilliant as usual as the town's popular high school football team coach who takes an interest in Radio upon seeing him watching a practice session. His friendship and concern for Radio develops into something that means much more than football to the very well respected coach, Harold Jones.
    Jones allows Radio to be part of the team's practices and games on the sidelines, and sit in on his classes in school which opens up a whole new world for James(Radio), and essentially gives him a life that he is in dire need of.

    Watching Cuba Gooding Jr. and Ed Harris onscree...( read more)n, I soon forgot the awkwardness of the missing armrest next to me. Their performances were nothing short of excellent, especially that of Cuba Gooding Jr. At times, mere glances with his eyes were enough to tell the story, superbly conveying Radio's feelings to the audience, especially before we heard him speak at the beginning. Ed Harris's character enjoyably complemented Cuba's, and the two developed a very believable and enjoyable onscreen friendship.

    Aside from the acting, one of the most impressive things about "Radio" was that, by the end of the film, almost every character had been believably changed in some way. From the coach to his wife and daughter, to the players on the team, they were all in some way noticeably different by the film's end. This included Radio himself, who had found a place for himself in a world where most people had barely cared to notice him. This is a difficult task for most films to pull off convincingly with one character, let alone several. Director Michael Tollin and screenwriter Mike Rich deserve to be commended.
    Photobucket
    In the end, "Radio" was a remarkable film. James Horner's musical score brilliantly highlighted nearly every scene, blending flawlessly with the unfolding story. It was a story that embraced the very essence of living, reminding us of virtues that can make us all a little bit better.

    Terrific movie...however if your epecting a movie about a person who has a disability that plays football than move along to waterboy. This film is about a man who unite a town

This has to be my favorite movie with Cuba Gooding Jr. He did such an amazing job, his best work yet. This movie gives a lot to learn fr...( read more)om. How we should and shouldn't treat others, how to be compassionate for other human beings, and just to help others in their time of need. The coach was inspiring. Great movie and a great story. Definitely touches the heart.

    Sweet film about a small-town high school football coach who takes a young, mentally challenged black boy (Radio) under his wing. However, when trouble starts to brew with the school and the football team, the townspeople want Radio gone. Throughout these trials, Radio remains un...( read more)changed and teaches the coach and, eventually, the entire town a lesson about acceptance and compassion. A very "feel good" film with great performances all around.

  • June 16, 2009
    this was such a great, touching movie. and football is more the means to tell the story instead of the reason to tell it which seperates it from so many other football movies.
