Amazon.co.uk Review:
Based on an improbable but true story, Cool Runnings concerns the Jamaican bobsled team that competed in the 1988 Winter Olympics. Director Jon Turteltaub (Phenomenon) does a fine job with both the absurdity of the situation (the athletes had never even seen snow) and the passion behind it (their desire to compete and win). John Candy, in one of his last roles, is touching as a disgraced coach who seizes the opportunity to work with the Jamaicans as a chance for redemption. The bobsled scenes look good and the races are exciting. The climax, which is entirely unexpected, takes the film to a wholly different level, even if events in the story don't quite match the facts. --Tom Keogh
Rating:
- Utterly Halarious!
An excellent plot line, side-splitting one-liners and brilliant acting. Enjoyable for all ages, heart warming and emotional, I don't think I will ever tire of this film.
Rating: - Great fun!
This is one of those films you keep in the cupboard and pull out every time you need cheering up. Very funny, as well as being a great tale of the underdog surprising all the doubters, there are some classic scenes - such as training in an ice cream van -- which will stay with you, but will still make you laugh every time you see them. Easy, lighthearted entertainment which leaves you feeling good.

- A film makes you believe in yourself
Cool Running gives you laughs and power that makes you believe in yourself.
This is such a moving story. I cry every time I watch it.
Rating: - "SANKA YA DEAD?"

They form a group with the push-cart driver Sanka Coffie (Doug E. Doug), the sprinter Yul Brenner (Malik Yoba) and the ... Read More
Rating: - Feel The Rhythm
Classic comedy and a great way to remember the great John Candy. This film does exactly what it says on the tin. Based on a true story, we follow the trials and tribulations of a Jamaican set of sprinters trying to get the olympics in a Bobsled team.
John Candy is cast in a typical role. He is funny whilst being a victim of circumstance. There are real themes running through this film. Struggling to survive, and daring to dream. Ultimately the main thought to prevail by the end of the ... Read More
