A wonderful true story

Rating: 8/10 (27 November 2005)

I enjoyed the story very much and even though it may not be the best movie ever made, the on screen connection between the coach and Radio is very apparent and touching.
Every once in a while we need to be reminded there are wonderful, positive people in the world.
I think that the character of Radio is only disturbing because Cuba Goding Jr does such a wonderful job portraying a retarded young man. We are still a society that cannot accept people that are different, especially the handicapped. I do feel that those people that did not like the movie are probably the same people that are not comfortable around mentally challenged individuals. The character of Radio was captured nicely.
I also enjoyed the subtle moments where the daughter watches her dad interact with Radio and finally understands and respects her own father . All said without dialog.
I am happy I know this story and enjoyed watching it.
