      Its a mercy that no one gets called a hero, and its a dodge that racism never speaks its name. ( Read More )
    • Roger Ebert

      Here is a film about football that doesnt even depend for its climax on the Big Game. ( Read More )
    • Ed Gonzalez

      (No doubt unintentional, the opening scene of the film would have you believe that a young black mans life is a train wreck waiting to happen.).Not that the film is malicious in any way; like its protagonist, its too strange and clueless to ever be genuinely offensive. ( Read More )
    • Marrit Ingman

      Radio has good intentions and a rousing message about mainstreaming the mentally disabled whom, the movie quite seriously suggests, have been entirely ignored by the educational community hitherto.Whether this is true I cannot say. ( Read More )
    • Its inoffensive, insipid and innocuous, and cynics should give it a very, very wide berth. ( Read More )
