    Great movie with a humorous twist that follows a true story of Jamaica making it to the Olympics for bobsledding.

    Good movie and good everything
  • Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
    A bonafide classic with tonnes of heart, soul, humour and love. A film that doesn't labour its point (in a way we could learn a lesson or three from nowadays), but handles some mature topics with levity and affection. The chemistry between the cast is wonderful, John Candy (as always) is wonderful and it was heartwarming to share this with our daughter and see her organically root for Derice and the boys.

    Cool Runnings maintains a light-hearted and lively tone, with smooth and natural performances from the cast. While it lacks some conflict that could elevate the theme, it remains a vibrant film that showcases the Olympic spirit.
  • Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
    One of the best sports flicks ever made. With classic one liners "Sanka ya dead? Ja mon!" And heart felt moments of courage and self belief. Also a genuinely laugh out loud movie. Highly recommended 👌

    The underdog team must come together to win and learn some life lessons along the way. This movie type has been done a few too many times, but this is one of the better ones. This time the underdog team is the Jamaican bobsleigh team trying for their shot at the Olympics. This movie is well put together. The four bobsleigh team members all have interesting personalities and backstories as does their coach played by John Candy. I love John Candy’s style of comedy, but here he tries his chops as more of a dramatic role and does a good job. The comic relief character is played by Doug E. Doug and most of his stuff lands well. This movie is based on real life events and the ending isn’t what you’d think. I think this movie is definitely worth your time, go check it out!
