	SPLICEDwire \| "Radio" review (2003) Michael Tollin, Cuba Gooding Jr., Ed Harris
		There are literally scores of such clichés in this predictable story of a mentally challenged young man (Cuba Gooding, Jr.) in small-town South Carolina circa 1976, who was taken under the wing of a high school football coach (Ed Harris) and grew into a valuable member of the sideline crew and a local celebrity.
		As a result, the film hangs on the acting ability of Gooding, who rises to the occasion for the first time in years.
		But while director Mike Tollin ("Summer Catch") does manage to tug a few true heartstrings with the genuinely human performances of Gooding and the well-cast Harris, the movie's plot development is so foreseeable that even overly florid composer James Horner ("The Perfect Storm," "A Beautiful Mind") seems to be always jumping the gun.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Boat Trip" review (2003) Mort Nathan, Cuba Gooding Jr., Horatio Sanz
		Driven entirely by tedious clichés, vulgar stereotypes, tawdry and low-brow raunch-as-comedy gags, and the degrading, almost minstrel-show antics of a mugging, rubber-faced Cuba Gooding Jr., "Boat Trip" is a gay-themed movie aimed squarely and exclusively at stupid straight people.
		Inexplicably, she has the hots for him too -- not because there's anything attractive about him whatsoever, but because the director is transparently more interested in any excuse for bug-eyed boob shots than he is in anything remotely resembling story or humor.
		And the film concludes with one of those shopworn and misogynistic "happy endings" in which immature men are taken back -- after a brief, half-hearted apology -- by women they've betrayed and treated with contempt.
