rewarding to watch unfold.

Rating: 10/10 (7 February 2004)

Interesting, well developed film. Not dipping into cliches of "easy wins", it is sweet without being cloying, and it doesn't revert to cheap sentimentality. The movie does condense real life events into a season and a half, but that is creative license we are used to in an era where everything is resolved in half hour or hour programs. Radio is played so believeably... The transition of the characters, such as the school principle, Radio's mother,the students, and the coaches wife and daughter as well as the town... was rewarding to watch unfold.
