Great Movie that makes you think

Rating: 8/10 (3 June 2004)

Radio is a great story about a tough coach and mentally challenged black man in South Carolina in the 70s. The coach wonderfully played by, Ed Harris, does not have time for his wife and daughter but does have time for "Radio". There friendship helps each other grow into better people. Cuba Gooding Jr. has done a wonderful job as portraying someone who just wants to fit in. There is plenty of football and hitting for the action fans. There is amazing touching parts for those who just want to fit in. The best thing about the movie is that people want "radio" around. The movie makes you think about what kind of people we are and you are that you would be uncomfortable with the mentally retarded. This is a small town movie. Only in a small town would a high school football coach be royalty and would a small town be so afraid of someone who is different. All in all a great movie.
