this be unusual represent a modern day film which be ultra nice . in fact and it be so nice it border on be too hard to believe in part . a i watch this base on a real life story and i be think and nobody be this nice and this tolerant . mainly and i be refer to ed harris role a coach jones . i think they go a little overboard on his character and but that good than the reverse represent show him bad than what he be in real life . odd to see harris play the role and too and since he have a long resume of play nasty and profane character . anyway and i never complain about a nice and feel good film and and it be nice to see a bunch of well mean and kind people . those folk direct their friendship and love and compassion to jam kennedy and good know a radio and a mentally slow high school kid play by cuba gooding jr. the story take place in the mid 1970s in south carolina . gooding do a nice job with the role and too . however and like sean penn role of a mentally challenged man in i be sam and an hour and a half of a character like this be plenty . after that and the loudness of those guy get tiresome to hear . note represent it be interest in one of the documentary on this dvd to find out that and in real life and in take year for radio to make his transformation and not month a show in the film .
