Charlotte Observer - Lawrence Toppman
What could have been an all-occasion Hallmark card turns out to be an emotionally genuine love letter to a young man who transformed the town of Anderson, S.C., in the 1970s.

Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
Radio is assembled from small, hard stones of ignorance and intolerance paved over by large, mushy examples of community goodness.
50
Philadelphia Inquirer - Steven Rea
The real Radio, and the real coach -- seen together in the movie's feel-good epilogue -- deserve better.

Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
There's no arguing that Cuba Gooding Jr. is trying to do right by the mentally disabled James Robert Kennedy.

The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt
The cast, which includes Alfre Woodard and Debra Winger, manages to give thoughtful performances that salvage the film's integrity.
