Turn up the volume on this one! "Radio" is one song *everyone* should play at least once!

Rating: Null/10 (21 January 2006)

This wonderful and true story centers on the friendship between a mentally retarded young man named Radio (played excellently by Cuba Gooding, Jr.!), and Coach Jones (Ed Harris), the football coach who befriends and defends Radio, taking him under his wing and teaching him the basics of education (reading, writing) and the value of work. Radio soon earns the respect of the football players and becomes the darling of Anderson High as Hall Monitor.
"Radio" is not *only* a beautiful story, but a wonderful example of the good that can happen when we care enough to invest our life in the life of another. It also serves as a reminder of what Christ taught: Love one another and treat others the way we want to be treated (a.k.a. The Golden Rule).
And for those concerned with language, there is very little swearing in this film (which serves no purpose in the first place) and absolutely *no* blasphemy. As a Christian, I loved that the most. That and my own personal walk down memory lane: Those great 'ol songs of the'70's!
"Radio" rocks!
