Cuba Gooding Jr.'s characterization reminds, of all things, of that acorn-crazed, pre-verbal prehistoric squirrel from Ice Age . ...read the complete Radio movie review at Film Freak Central (Walter Chaw)
Radio (2003) scores a combined 1.00 out of 4 stars for New York Daily News (Jami Bernard)New York Daily News (Jami Bernard)
What really makes the jaw drop is the presence of so many talented actors in what seems like traditional TV treacle. Saddest of all is Debra Winger, reduced to playing the wife-as-wallpaper role. For this she came back to ...read the complete Radio movie review at New York Daily News (Jami Bernard)

It's hard to say what's more offensive about the out-of- tune Radio - Cuba Gooding Jr. trying to ingratiate himself by mugging up a storm as a mentally challenged man, or the mawkish narrative surrounding him like so much syrup. ...read the complete Radio movie review at New York Post (Lou Lumenick)
