[A] sweet-natured, high-spirited comedy, that rare movie that plays effectively to all ages.

Cheesy? Certainly. But strong performaces and a heart-warming storyline make this a winner.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 16, 2020
Though it certainly has faults, which only the extremely nostalgic could ignore, the film bests its contemporaries through its ability to unite childlike comedy and adult concerns without ever obscuring one with the other.

Cool Runnings is a charming tale of determined underdogs, with plenty of laughs, moments of real tension, and five engaging performances.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 18, 2014
The offbeat, fact-based saga is enlivened by the perfect balance of humor, emotion and insight and should be one of the true sleepers among fall box office releases.

A cute, buoyant sports fantasy, jolted along by a reggae soundtrack and playfully acted by an appealing cast.
