Radio

[Brandie]

Absolutely F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C movie!  I enjoyed it from beginning to end.  No sexual innuendo, no violence (other than the smacks involved in football), and only 1 curse word in the entire thing.  This was a truly moving movie...if you have the chance, check it out with your family!

Is that with Cuba Gooding Jr???

[sincereheart]

Wow! Sounds like it's worth a watch just to see what's NOT in there!

Starring:  Cuba Gooding Jr. (who should have been nominated for an Oscar for his role...absolutely stunning)

and

Ed Harris

I gave my review, but didn't say what the movie is about, so here goes:

A young mentally handicapped man (Cuba Gooding/Radio) is befriended by the local football coach (Ed Harris/Coach Jones) after being mistreated by some of the high school football players.  Coach Jones becomes Radio's mentor and protector.  It really shows how simple kindness can change a person's life.

Like I said before, this is a real family show.  It opens the door to talk to your kids about how to treat those that are different than we are.  I can't wait to watch this show with my fiance's daughter (who is almost 9) and talk with her about it.  I find that the most normal things (watching movies, reading books, even grocery shopping) can open the door to starting your kids on the right path Biblically.  You teach them theology one small step at a time, right?

Really, though, check this one out if you have the time.
