Leave your thoughts about Radio.
| Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionBob TownsendSyrupy feel-good movie just doesn't ring true, despite Gooding's quietly dignified performance. |
| Denver Rocky Mountain NewsRobert DenersteinPlease, Hollywood, no more inspiration, particularly if it feels about as authentic as canned laughter. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonGooding is never allowed to play a three-dimensional character but rather ... human currency to be handed around whenever a character needs his or her consciousness raised. |
| Looking CloserJeffrey OverstreetDespite the fine efforts of Harris and Gooding, Jr., Radio nearly drowns in James Horner's overbearingly sentimental music. |
| Zap2it.comMichael Szymanskithis puts Cuba back into the Oscar race again, he's charming and wonderful -- although he plays a slow guy, which is surefire Oscar fodder |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsJohn P. McCarthyLike its title character, Radio broadcasts at a low, pleasant frequency. |
| Midwest Film Journal Nick RogersIn his best role since Jerry Maguire, Cuba Gooding Jr. delivers a mannered performance performance where other actors have opted for tics and exaggerated shouting. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThere is no cynicism in Radio, no angle or edge. It's about what it's about, with an open, warm and fond nature. Every once in a while human nature expresses itself in a way we can feel good about, and this is one of those times. |
| Detroit Free PressJohn MonaghanOf course I should know better, but the movie had me blubbering from its first down. |
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelMack BatesAlthough it succumbs to overt audience manipulation when the story loses steam, Radio tunes in some solid performances from a skilled cast, led by Cuba Gooding Jr. and Ed Harris. |
