Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Though probably well-intentioned, Radio comes off as manipulative of its audience and exploitative of the mentally challenged.
– Claudia Puig,
USA Today,

rotten:
A train wreck of a film lying inert where the tracks of the Feel Good Line cross the Path of Good Intentions.
– Philip Kennicott,

rotten:
Gooding once again embarrasses himself in public with a performance that knows no shame, a habit he's getting frighteningly at ease with these days.
– Michael O'Sullivan,

rotten:

Based-on- a-true-story kitschfest.
