Radio

Pros: A movie that will make one want to watch over and over again.
Cons: Unfortunately, alot of the town's people did not understand "Radio."

I rented this film on VHS this evening and I really and truly enjoyed watching this movie. This is inspired by a true story and watching this movie brought some tears to my eyes. The setting takes place in 1976 in a small South Carolina town where ...

Pros: exceptionally well acting, very strong impact on emotions
Cons: none

Does it make a guy any less of a man if he cries? Is he a wuss? If he cared for someone that other people tortured, made fun of, and humiliated, is he any different? Well, I’m proud to admit that I’m a proud “tear been jerked” victim of ...

Pros: This movie touched my heart and my soul. It is a must see
Cons: You will cry.

I can honestly say that this is probably the best movie I have ever seen. Maybe because it is a true story, maybe because we could learn so much from the movie, maybe because it was so well written - I guess a combination of them all. I know I cannot b ...

Pros: Acting, Plot, Funny, Heartwarming
Cons: You will cry. The movie itself is sort of long.

"Radio" is the type of movie that you see previews and just know that it's going to be a heart-warming classic. Cuba Gooding Jr. is amazing as he plays (probably his best performance yet) Radio. What I liked about this movie is that it was so real. It sho ...

Pros: Amazing compelling movie. Actors were amazing. Effects and story. Dialogue interesting.
Cons: Radio is too good a movie to have cons.

Radio, a compelling movie about a boy in South Carolina in 1976. Radio(Cuba Gooding Jr.) always was taunted because he was slow in the mind and wasn't the brightest. But when Coach Jones(Ed Harris) finds him locked up one day, he gives radio a chance. Jon ...

Pros: Wonderful messages about acceptance, loss, new life, and the evil of 16-hour shifts.
Cons: It's easier to kill Bill.

Sometimes we all need a reminder of how beautiful the world can be, how beautiful life can be. Every now and then, a movie comes along that captures this beauty and makes you want to go out and change the world. Radio falls into that category. ...

Pros: Oscar quality acting from both Cuba Gooding jr. & Ed Harris
Cons: None. Not a one.

Spy Kids 2 came replete with free 3-D glasses - I have a feeling that when Radio is released on October 24th Sony Pictures will partner with Kleenex ® for an economic tie-in of epic proportions. Radio is a feel good winner that brings Cuba Gooding Jr. ba ...

Pros: Amazing acting, inspiring storyline. A film for all to enjoy.
Cons: It ended.

Radio, a movie inspired by a true story, is sure to inspire all those who see it. This is one of those movies that will make you laugh a little, and cry both tears of sadness and tears of joy. Missing this movie would be an injustice to yourself. Ca ...

Pros: Gooding Jr., Harris, has a lesson to teach, a moving story
Cons: I cried

I’m not one for mushy movies and decided to pass by Radio while searching for a movie to use my free rental coupon on. I ended up with a totally different genre when I picked up U nderworld instead. Going ...

Pros: Great story, great screenplay, wonderful actors
Cons: music may have been overdone at times

“Radio”: A True Story, a Wonderful Movie by Barry Waller I had the opportunity to get an early look at the new film "Radio" starring Cuba Gooding Jr. as James “Radio” Kennedy, a mentally challenged young man who's life, and the lives of the ...

Pros: Well told story brought to life by incredible acting.
Cons: None

I often avoid inspiring "based on a true story" movies.  It's not that I don't find them inspiring.  I just get tired of the predictable story lines.  This is especially true when a movie involves sports.  Back when Radio was ...

Pros: Love, relationships, family, kinship.
Cons: the awful truth of how society can be toward people of dispositions.

Basic Synopsis: In 1976, a football dedicated South Carolina town is looking toward Coach Harold Jones (Ed Harris) to bring a winning season for the town high school's football team. In comes James 'Radio' Kennedy (Cuba Gooding, Jr.), a mentally ...

Pros: Uplifting and sincere in its story.
Cons: Some may see it as schmaltz. So what?

There are times when the major studios tend to release their biggest hits all at once, gambling that this will return major profits to them. The fact is, this is almost always true. But once in a while they also release a small film at the same time with ...

Pros: Ed Harris, Cuba Gooding, Musical Score, Editing, Theme.
Cons: Little to no acting.

Introduction Well ladies and gents this epinionater has been absent for a while. Admittedly, part of my absence was over the joy and awe of becoming a father. Since then, I just haven’t had as much time to review art placed to a canvass of ...

Pros: True story, good small town setting
Cons: overacting by Cuba, same old storyline.

Coach Jones tells his daughter that when he was a paperboy for over two years, he ran into a boy in a cage and never said anything. His daughter, who was feeling horribly neglected at this point, finally said she understood her father's time and ...
