Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Pluskylang Great Film overall

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

daoldiges I've seen this movie a couple of times now and it fits me better with each viewing. The wonderful score, cinematography, really wonderful performances and so much nostalgia for a bygone era that may or may not have been, it's just an easy delight. This film isn't at all reflective of my boyhood growing up, and yet I feel so connected to it and the messages and feelings Woods is trying to convey. Diane Wiest in particular creates a truly endearing character. I suspect that I will give this film another look before too long, and if you haven't already seen it I suggest you do so.

christopherelawrence Every time I see this film I find myself enjoying it, as it has to do with one the periods in history that is a favorite: the Second World War. I like the movies from the era, and the music, and it is nice to see a film that goes into what life was like for a certain family in Brooklyn and how they handle their many problems and still continue to care and love another. Besides the nostalgic aspects of the film, another thing that I like about it (and I know that others will likely hate me for this) Allen is no where to be found! He is only the narrator, and I have no problem with that, considering that his acting is stupid and awful. It is a good family film, and should be shared in this setting, because it exhibits what we were and what we may become again. Then I see that Seth Rogan is the kid in this, and realize that he should have never been offered the role in Green Hornet (which was a radio show back in the thirties and forties, which is the era that this film is based in) and that movie was a Hollywood turd, but I digress.

g-bodyl Radio Days is a strong directorial effort by Woody Allen and it's funny, charming, and even nostalgic. This movie touches up on the fact how popular radio used to be during the golden years in the 1940's. During this time, the lives of people revolved around listening to radio and Allen does a great job in bringing this fact across. However, this is a story about family and kinship and how radio particularly affected this family.Woody Allen directed a rather charming film that is narrated by Joe and he talks about how radio influenced his childhood and he talks about his memories of his family and how radio associated with them. Not only that, but he also gives vivid descriptions on behind-the-scenes as well from the eyes of the radio personalities.This film has a strong cast led by regulars of older Woody Allen films. Mia Farrow and Diane Keaton makes some appearances here and do fairly well. Dianne Wiest had a great performance as Aunt Bea and Julie Kavner did well as Mother.Overall, this is a charming and witty film that will make you be overcome with nostalgic feelings. Even if you weren't born or alive in the 1940's, you can't but feel like you've been a part of this life someway or another. It's a great look on how radio played a part in everyone lives and how it's missed from today's society. I rate this film 8/10.
