Radio (2003)

Cast: Cuba Gooding Jr. (Radio), Ed Harris (Coach Jones), Alfre Woodard (Principal Daniels)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's Radio page.

Any movie that combines a touching story based on a true story with sports (especially hockey, football, or baseball) is going to get my attention. Radio was so well done. It was such an amazingly moving movie.

While visiting my mom, I saw the real Radio on Oprah and the shot they showed of what happened (when the other team let him get a touchdown) and the description by his mom about his explaining the game and how his team must have won, since they were so happy (even though they lost by quite a bit) made me cry.

The movie Radio did the same thing. I was so moved. I got so involved with the people in the movie. I did keep waiting for the real-life clip I had seen in the movie and was a bit disappointed when it never came, but Cuba Gooding Jr. does an amazing job as Radio and I highly recommend this touching story.

Grade: A
