Ok movie if you have a couple of hours to kill

Rating: 5/10 (25 March 2004)

I thought this movie was just "OK". Not great, not bad. I felt it could have used a little more character development. Since I rented it on DVD, I was able to get a little more background on the subject.I guess I expected a little more uplifting story, but it wasnt. Ed Harris was good in his role, but Cuba Gooding surprisingly wasnt. I was having a hard time understanding why the Coach was so compassionate towards Radio. Kind of got tired of the "Radio gets in trouble, Coach gets him out of trouble" theme after awhile. Might have even been more interesting to do this as a documentary, with the real Radio. Overall, if you have absolutely nothing to do and a couple of spare hours, go ahead....watch it.
