Two Line Reviews - #325

Movie: Radio Days (1987)

Plot: A person narrates the influence that radio has had on his childhood and his entire family. He vividly remembers characters from the radio and takes people down a nostalgic trip (if they can connect to it).
 
Positives:
  • This film is quite out of the ordinary. Woody Allen takes a different route this time and does a neat job.
  • The characters in the film, as described by the commentator, are nice ones & the entire family with unique characters please the viewer.
  • Some of the satirical scenes shown are enjoyable.
Negatives:
Not generic for the worldwide audience.I couldn't establish any connection with the programmes or the characters narrated. Some impact gets lost there.

Memorable if one can relate to the film.
