A shining inspiration.

Rating: 10/10 (31 January 2004)

"Radio" could have degenerated into schmaltz, but instead it shone as a true story of courage, dedication, friendship, love and regret. How many of us have failed; yet, how many of us have moved to make right that omission. Cuba Gooding's permormance was seamless. I was completely caught up in his character. (Whoever nominated him for a Razzie for this role should be ashamed.) Ed Harris, Debra Winger and Alfre Woodard all did a wonderful job of supporting the story. This is a clean, meaningful film with an actual story to tell--no nudity, no four-letter words, and no simulated sex. No wonder it received little attention.
