John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: Of course I should know better, but the movie had me blubbering from its first down. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: [Y]et another movie that takes a mentally challenged character and turns him into this kind of deity, this saint-like mascot who everybody else learns life lessons from. Read more
Erik Lundegaard, Seattle Times: We live in a winner-take-all culture, and Radio suggests there are more important things in life. Read more
Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune: Inoffensive family fare. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: A synthetic mush of molasses-soaked pablum. Read more
Bob Townsend, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Syrupy feel-good movie just doesn't ring true, despite Gooding's quietly dignified performance. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: After some student and parental resistance, a medley of obvious platitudes and great bathos washes over the place, and everybody is righteously lifted up where they belong. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: Rich has brought considerable depth to the roles he has created, which in turn allows Tollin to support Gooding's and Harris' fine portrayals with an array of performances of equally high caliber from a carefully selected cast. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: I'm happy to report Radio is tolerable. Better than tolerable, in fact, but not much better. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: The result is just as the filmmakers hoped. You'd have to hold a stubborn defensive line not to be moved by this film's heart. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: A movie overloaded with noble signifiers. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: A lot better than the Muzak it threatens to be, but, ultimately, not good enough to keep our itchy fingers off the dial. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: Long on heart but short on surprises. Read more
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly: It's To Kill a Mockingbird by way of Remember the Titans, with all the subtlety you'd expect from director Mike Tollin. Read more
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: Trailers make it seem as though Radio is all about football, but it's not, and once the film leaves the fall sport behind it wanders around in no particular direction until it reaches an abrupt, poorly executed ending. Read more
Jan Stuart, Newsday: Shameless inspirational pulp that does everything but hold a gun to your head to get you to stand up and cheer. Read more
Bob Campbell, Newark Star-Ledger: The game plan is Inspiration or Death. Read more
Jami Bernard, New York Daily News: A lot of whitewash is poured over a subject solely to wring emotion from the hapless viewer. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: With his goofy sweetness, docile uncertainty and indestructible determination to succeed, I found Mr. Gooding as unique and inspiring as Radio himself. Read more
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel: It's still a tear-jerker, but it doesn't make you feel like a jerk for tearing up. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Every once in a while human nature expresses itself in a way we can feel good about, and this is one of those times. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: Cuba Gooding Jr. falls victim to the Nell syndrome, in which a vibrant, loquacious actor decides that the road to an Oscar nomination is to wear a slack expression and a set of Nutty Professor teeth. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Earnest to a fault, Radio tries so hard to be a feel-good movie, you might wind up feeling bad that you don't like it more. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: Rarely have good intentions been wrapped in such a sticky package. Read more
Claudia Puig, USA Today: Though probably well-intentioned, Radio comes off as manipulative of its audience and exploitative of the mentally challenged. Read more
Ed Park, Village Voice: Based-on- a-true-story kitschfest. Read more
