Movie Review
Grade: C+
Cuba Gooding, Jr. has spent the better portion of a decade proving that his Oscar-winning performance in Jerry Maguire was a fluke, with such horrors as Snow Dogs, The Fighting Temptations and Boat Trip - among others - there to blemish his career. His latest film, Radio, marks his return to drama, but is it enough to save him? Read the full movie review

I viewed a little of this movie in my EDUC 3200 class at UCA, and from the beginning it had me hooked. We could not see all of the movie due to our time factor, so my son bought it for me for my b-day. I had to see the rest of it.
What a great movie!! It shows us that we are all alike. All of us wants to be accepted and needed. I am so glad that society for the most part views people with disabilites as people first and not a disability.
This movie touched my heart like no other has in a long time. Maybe because I am going to teach special ed., but I doubt it. I think it has more to do with the hope for humanity, and knowing that we can touch others lives by merely caring and losing our prejudices just because others are "different."
My rating for this movie is an A+
