Verdict on Radio Man
Radio Man is a comedy following a man who wakes up with the ability to read and control radio waves. He starts by using it for small details before deciding it could be used to help sort out his financial problems.
This movie takes us down a path where somebody can connect to the internet anywhere in life. It offers up the question, what would you do if you could do the same? This offers up a nice way to help someone struggling in life and highlights the job market troubles. In the negative side of things, there are a lot of Australian slang words, which go straight over your head. In the end, this is an enjoyable comedy that has plenty of heart.
