Reviews

Charlotte Observer -
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 -
Radio is assembled from small, hard stones of ignorance and intolerance paved over by large, mushy examples of community goodness.

|
Philadelphia Inquirer -
The real Radio, and the real coach -- seen together in the movie's feel-good epilogue -- deserve better.

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

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