A "C" from me

Rating: 4/10 (23 October 2003)

"Radio" is based on an actual ongoing friendship in So. Carolina between a white football coach and a mentally disabled black man. The story is good, but the movie is loud, sappy, and overdone. It is good to see Debra Winger again, but not in the role of the homey coach's wife. Cuba Gooding is better in this than in "Fighting Temptations" or "Boat Trip", but that is faint praise.
GRADE = "C"
