Movie Review
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? Full movie review »

October 9, 2005I 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+

It was extremely touching,thoughtful,and deep to the point of which all people inside,wish they could feel as good and changed for the better as they felt walking out. This gentle man RADIO can teach us all a lesson on humility and true love. Awesome movie!!!!!!!

November 8, 2003My 10 year old daughter and I went to see Radio today. It was by far one of the best movies ever made. The story is uplifting and shows the best part of humans. My daughter loved it. She is now wanting to go to Anderson to see the real Radio. What a beautiful heart Coach has. This is a testimony to the goodness in people. I would highly recommend this movie if you want entertainment, inspiration and to walk away with a great belief in humanity.
