Radio is an excellent film from start to finish. Cuba Gooding Junior plays James (aka Radio), who is a man slightly slower than most other people, but a man who has a bigger heart than most at the same time.

The film has a terrific storyline, and is warm, touching and inspiring. It's a story that will make you feel guilty of when you treated people badly, and a film that will inspire you. Featuring starring roles from both Ed Harris and Cuba Gooding Junior, Radio really is one of the quiet little gems that didn't make it as a box office smash.

But i can assure you, looking at my DVD collection, which features many Academy Award Winning films and "Critically Acclaimed" films, Radio would be more than a welcome addition to the collection. I suppose the nearest comparison would be 'Forrest Gump', though I genuinely found this much better
