Cool Runnings Reviews
An AMAZING movie, AN ABSOLUTE MUST SEE.
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
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.
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 👌
Fell the rhythm,feel the ride, come on up, its bobsleigh time
Sports movie with John Candy.
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!
A goofy Disney comedy about some unlikely bobsledders from Jamaica who made it to the Winter Olympics with the help of a disgraced but lovable coach.
During this movie I laughed so much. Although the movie isn't completely accurate to the Olympics, it's a very fun movie worth watching.
Inspiring underdog story
one off my favourite sports movies ever made, this is Disney at its best.
Only John Candy can take 4 Olympic-quality Jamaican sprinters and turn them into Olympic bobsledders. A great light-hearted comedy that's fun for the whole family.
I loved it as a child, recently rewatched it and am happy to say that it holds up.
LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 32 minutes about the first ever Jamaican bobsled team in the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta, Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cool Runnings is an amazing movie. It is super interesting, and if you like movies that are based off of true stories, then you would love this movie. The story in the movie is a true story. Also this movie is a very funny comedy, and I LOVE comedy. The four Jamaicans in this movie were very likable, and I love there ways of living and doing stuff. Cool Runnings is a very inspering sports movie, and if you love inspering sports movies, then this is your movie. If you also like multi cultural movies, or if you are a Jamaicain, then this is also your movie. Cool Runnings was so good. I loved it. What an amazing movie. 89%.
Great movie from start to finish!
Haven't seen it ages and it was even better than I remembered there's so much. Firstly it's just so fun to watch and the characters are fantastic. Secondly, there's so much fantastic messaging that I completely forgot about. This is honestly I think one of the best movies ever.
