RADIO
This one’s a weeper, a beautiful story that shows the invaluable worth that people are (or can be, if we open our hearts). Just seeing the trailers on tv last fall told me that I’d need a hanky when viewing. ‘Twas true. Cuba Gooding Junior does an incredible job of playing the true life character Robert Kennedy (affectionally referred to as “Radio”). The extra documentaries reveal that the first thing Gooding does when taking on a character is to learn and develop a walk. His portrayal here is so sweet and endearing. The football action that the movie is couched in is fun (and very realistic), but only a side-story, as Radio first divides the community before uniting it. Ya gotta love these heart-warming stories that people find (this one was “discovered” by a story on Radio that Sports Illustrated writer Gary Smith wrote a few years ago). [COLUMBIA TRISTAR | DV]
