With Radio Days , Allen manages to conjure up the spirit and memory of his childhood and family, countered by stories concerning the forgotten medium everyone centered their entertainment from at the time, the radio.
Unfortunately, being all warm, fuzzy, and reflective also hinders the film a little.

Much of the humor in the movie is stupid and scatological (a kid brings a condom to kindergarten show and tell), much just pure vaudeville without any reinterpretive twist.
Radio Days' " jagged, elliptical style seems to have a thematic purpose -- this isn't merely a nostalgic movie, but a movie about nostalgia.

Overall, I thought the film seemed well defined and accurate.
Ultimately, Radio Days finds Woody Allen in his most successful milieu.

Radio Days " is so ambitious and so audacious that it almost defies description.
There are so many characters in " Radio Days " and they are in so many separate vignettes, that it's hard to give a coherent description of the plot - or plots.
